Kansas City Chiefs star defensive tackle Chris Jones is one of the best defensive players in the league. He proved that again this past season with a monster year that ended with another Super Bowl title.
He’s also a guy who routinely gets emotional during the national anthem before games. That continued at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas when he shed tears during country music star Reba McEntire’s performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner."
NFL Films was able to capture that moment, which included an awesome conversation Jones had with teammate George Karlaftis before he started to cry.
This is so good:

Gotta keep this duo together for a long time, also when I gave Furious George his nickname I knew nothing about his personality, turns out he seems like one of the nicest dudes ever 😂 https://t.co/WjoG2BH3yy
