While many Kansas City Chiefs fans have only recently become aware of assistant Porter Ellett in his NFL films short, he’s made an outsized impact on the team and at his alma mater Brigham Young University prior.
Ellett has been with the Chiefs since 2017, playing an integral part in Kansas City’s administrative structure. He served as a senior assistant to Andy Reid and an offensive quality control coach before being promoted to his current position in the 2023 offseason.
Recently, BYU gifted Ellett a one-of-a-kind custom helmet with a split design that features both the Cougars’ and Chiefs’ color schemes and logos. He shared a video of the masterpiece on Twitter, showing the world the unique design of the helmet and thanking the BYU football program for the exceptionally cool piece of memorabilia.

While BYU’s campus in Provo, Utah is far from Ellett’s current home in Kansas City, clearly the school’s connection to him is never out of his reach. Their football program has had an indelible effect on the Chiefs given its connection to Ellett and head coach Andy Reid. Fans shouldn’t be surprised if Kansas City eyes some of their prospects in the 2023 NFL draft as they look to defend their status as reigning champions next season.
