In the words of Tucker D. Franklin, the vibes were high and the beer was flowing at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl champions parade on Wednesday.
Thankfully, there were no major events or incidents, involving fans, players or otherwise, but there was plenty of consumption going on. Patrick Mahomes alluded to this before the parade and rally even got started.
Going to be long day..!!! 🤣🤣 #ChiefsKingdom

And for some members of this Chiefs team, it certainly was a long day. That includes veteran S Juan Thornhill, who gave this phenomenal interview to KSHB-TV’s Aaron Ladd during the course of the parade route:

He made sure to let Chiefs Kingdom know that he was doing alright this morning and that he may have got a bit carried away during the parade on Wednesday.
Lol #ChiefsKingdom I’m okay after yesterday parade ..might’ve had one too many drinks 😂

Thornhill, however, has been there and done that before. He’s a two-time Super Bowl champion. For one of the Chiefs’ rookie defensive backs, well, let’s just say he made a rookie mistake regarding his consumption at the Super Bowl parade.
Jaylen Watson apparently needed a bit of assistance and I’m not too sure how much of the parade and rally he’ll be remembering. It’s commonplace for fans to throw beers and mini-shooters to the players during the parade route and it seems that Watson didn’t know how to deny Chiefs fans during the moment.
Chiefs Kingdom!!! Y’all were responsible for this🤣. YOU GOTTA FIGHT, FOR YOUR RIGHT pic.twitter.com/dpFGuvQWb1

Watson fought for his right to party, and party he did. As did most everyone in attendance, including the Kansas City police officer assisting Watson in this photo.
