The 2022 NFL season is just around the corner, but on Saturday members of the Kansas City Chiefs celebrated the return of college football.
Dozens of games were played on Saturday, marking the first weekend of the 2022 college football season. Several Chiefs players showed their support for their alma maters by either tuning in to watch the games or even showing up for the games in person.
Here’s a quick roundup of all of the action:
QB Patrick Mahomes

Mecole Hardman actually went to the Oregon vs. Georgia game, where he was hanging out on the sideline with Quavo, D’Andre Swift, Richard LeCounte and John Fitzpatrick ahead of the game. It also seems he brought a little Kansas City spirit with him.
Who tailgating right now?
