This week, Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Kansas City Chiefs legend and franchise leading rusher Jamaal Charles.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Charles, who recently teamed up with Kingsford to host the ‘Kingsford College Football Tailgate Tour’ at the Red River Rivalry tailgate, discussed his enjoyment of grilling with fans and fellow Texas Longhorns alum Xavier Worthy’s rookie season in Kansas City.
“[It was] an [awesome] opportunity to team [up with] Kingsford. Grill some good barbecue on the grill, and [got to] smell that good old charcoal. It was an awesome time. [I was] able to grill, and we were cooking some chicken that day,” Charles said. “[I was] able to cook some of the chicken and eat something. It was awesome, [to] pass it around to some of the fans. Man, you just saw the smile on their faces [for] Kingsford, and it was awesome to let them get some of that good old barbecue.”
“You may not win every game, you can win every tailgate with Kingsford,” said Charles as he greeted fans at the latest edition of the River Rivalry, which saw the Longhorns win 34-3 over the Oklahoma Sooners.
Charles’ alma mater continues to produce top-tier NFL talent, including Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy.
“Man, seeing another Longhorn representing the University of Texas is good,” Charles said of Worthy’s presence in Kansas City. “We always have a good connection with the Chiefs. They always draft some of them. They do a great job drafting the Longhorns players and we always go up there and try to represent. I’m just happy that (Xavier) Worthy is having great success. I knew he would have great success because Coach Andy Reid was one of the best coaches I’ve been around in my entire career. So I knew he had a great opportunity to continue the success.”
