Heading into the season, the contract situation for Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones was a major concern. He sat out all of training camp and the first game of the regular season before striking a one-year deal with the Chiefs.
His possible final game with Kansas City was in a Super Bowl-winning effort against the 49ers, and Travis Kelce made sure to let Jones know just how highly he thinks of him.
In mic’d-up footage from NFL Films’ Inside the NFL, we could hear as Kelce and Jones shared a celebratory moment on the field at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
"You're the greatest to ever do it."

Kelce could be heard saying:
“Way to believe, dawg. Way to lead us. You’re the greatest to ever do it in my eyes.”
Jones responded by telling Kelce that he loved him. It was a great moment that fans particularly enjoyed to hear.
This was how Twitter reacted
