Mark McMillian praises the Chiefs’ stars who have fueled recent success

The Kansas City Chiefs are on a unique run of success that they hope will continue this season with a third consecutive Super Bowl title.

Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to former Kansas City defensive back Mark McMillian about his upcoming appearance at the Chiefs Kingdom Tailgate at Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar on October 26 and 27 in Las Vegas and his thoughts on the current Chiefs dynasty.

“[I] came up with a concept, obviously, playing with the Chiefs, you know how big their fan base is across the country, especially here in Las Vegas,” McMillian said of the event. “I partnered up with Flanker before during the Super Bowl, and they used my barbecue spices and barbecue sauce, and the chef really loved the concept.

“I think we fed probably like 200 to 300 people, and then with football season, being around me, living here in Vegas, we just wanted to come up with a cool concept that we can have myself, Danan Hughes, come in and meet and greet and just try to enjoy the fans and the Chiefs on the road.”

The Chiefs have enjoyed three Super Bowl victories since the 2019 season and are focused on a three-peat this year. McMillian believes Kansas City will succeed more if they keep their core together.

“It was an unbelievable run from the Hunt family, from the top on down,” McMillian explained. “[They gave] these guys all the resources they could to be successful; obviously, Andy Reid is a Hall of Famer in the making. He could just walk into Canton right now and get his gold jacket. Obviously, having the franchise quarterback Patrick Mahones and Travis Kelce are the two main guys who’ve been there for the long haul with Andy.

“They continue to surround Patrick with guys, and he makes them better. It’s unbelievable what they’re able to do and able to accomplish. They’re still going, and they’re not done yet. So as long as you got number 15 throwing the rock, man, you got a chance to win many football games and Super Bowls.”
