The CEO of Sack Nation has officially arrived at Kansas City Chiefs Organized Team Activities (OTAs).
The Chiefs resumed practices for their second week of voluntary OTAs on Tuesday, May 28. Jones wasn't spotted at the first practice session open to media members last week and wasn't featured in any of the images or videos shared by the team, which wasn't terribly surprising given his tendency to work on his own during the offseason. Everything changed on Tuesday, with Jones being the focal point after his arrival for the second week of practices in Kansas City.
The team shared a video of Jones on their social media channels, which shows him looking quite spry during a pass rush technique and finish drill.
You can even hear Chiefs defensive line coach Joe Cullen giving Jones some pointers during the video. "That's it," Cullen yells. "Drop your shoulders. There you go! Drop your shoulders, Chris! That's it!"
Jones was also featured in an image shared by the team's X (Twitter) account, where he's shown cheesing alongside DTs Mike Pennel and Tershawn Wharton, who both struck a pose.
A defensive lynchpin for the Chiefs, Jones signed a five-year contract extension worth $158.75M this offseason making him the NFL's highest-paid defensive tackle. He's coming off back-to-back double-digit sack seasons, each year earning first-team All-Pro recognition and contributing to a Super Bowl victory for his team.
The soon-to-be 30-year-old defensive tackle has been aiming for NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors for some time now. A good offseason worth of work could put Jones on that track as K.C. aims to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles.
