The Kansas City Chiefs have won three Super Bowls under Andy Reid, including the last two in consecutive seasons. But any extra help is welcome since Patrick Mahomes and company are looking to become the first team in NFL history to achieve the three-peat.
That may explain Jon Grudenās presence in Chiefsā training camp in recent days. A Super Bowl champion at the helm of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2003, he goes way back with Reid from their time together as coordinators at the Green Bay Packers in the early 1990s.
Gruden showing up on Chiefsā gear has given plenty to talk about in recent days, creating speculation on whether heāll be alongside Reid throughout the 2024 NFL season. But just like Mahomes approves the former Super Bowl champ helping the Chiefs, Reid explained heās comfortable with Gruden around.
āHe loves football. He and I go way back 30 years, so weāve known each other for a long timeā Reid told reporters Monday. āSo, itās good to get him up here. Heās always got good input on things. [Heās] very smart, very good football ā great football coach, so [I] enjoy having him around [and he has] great energy.ā
Head coach John Gruden of the Las Vegas Raiders reacts during the first half against the Chicago Bears at Allegiant Stadium on October 10, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Gruden resigned as Las Vegas Raiders head coach in 2021 after emails with racist and homophobic remarks leaked to the public. Heās already served as a consultant for the New Orleans Saints in 2023, but Reid seemed to deny the former Super Bowl champ will join the Chiefs in 2024.

Andy Reid and Mahomes looking to make history with Chiefs in 2024
Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes have already created a dynasty in the NFL, but this story still has many chapters to be written. The Chiefs may have won the last two Super Bowls, but they have all the motivation they need to be just as hungry as in 2023.
Kansas City has the opportunity to become the first team in National Football League history to win the Super Bowl in three straight years, and the team wants to make sure to seize it.
While the continuity of Reid and Mahomes is crucial, the Chiefs will also run things back with key contributors such as Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, and Drue Tranquill.
In addition, the front office has made interesting additions to revitalize a wide receiver room that left a lot to be desired in 2023, with veteran WR Marquise āHollywoodā Brown and rookie wideout Xavier Worthy promising to give Mahomesā offense more firepower. The Chiefs have already become the team to beat in the NFL, and the future looks even brighter for them.
