Kansas City Chiefs DT Chris Jones made a strong impression on second-round draft pick Kingsley Suamataia when he took his top-30 visit with the team earlier in April.
Speaking to the media on Friday night, Suamataia revealed that he ran into Jones when he was in Kansas City for his visit. The ensuing interaction between Jones, Suamataia, and a staff member sounds like it could be straight out of a comedy movie.
Fox 4 Kansas City reporter PJ Green shared the clip from Suamataia's media availability on Friday.
"Yeah, so when I seen Chris (Jones), he asked the lady who was taking me around, he said, 'Hey, who that? Who have we got in today?' He thought I was already on the team. He was like, 'Who we have in now?' And then she was like, 'Oh no, he's on a 30 visit. He's from BYU.' And he was like, 'Gosh damn, you're big!' He was like, 'How old you is?' He was like, 'You 26, 27?' I was like, 'No, I just turned 21.' He was like, 'Oh. My. Gosh.' Chris Jones, himself. Like this is Chris Jones. The Bear, himself, walking around, that kills O-Linemen for a living. So, just being able to shake his hand and talk to him, and chop it up for a little bit was pretty dope. Yeah, super dope."
The transcription doesn't quite do the video justice because hearing Suamataia's impression of Jones takes it to a new level of comedy. It must also be quite flattering to hear one of the NFL's premier defensive talents compliment you like that. Suamataia is listed at 6-foot-6 and 325 pounds, so it's certainly a warranted response from Jones. Now, the two can go against each other during practice once training camp in St. Joe ensues.
