Chris Jones hilariously roped in Chiefs DE George Karlaftis for his usual crying session during the national anthem
By now, Chris Jones is well-known as one of the key cogs during the Kansas City Chiefs’ new dynasty. He’s a defensive wrecking ball who somehow always finds a way to make timely plays and projects as a likely future Hall of Famer. He’s also known for getting very emotional while someone sings the national anthem before Chiefs games. It’s to the point that he sometimes gets memes created out of this routine.
His approach before Super Bowl 58 was no different. While anticipating the national anthem, Jones turned to defensive teammate George Karlaftis, professing that he was about to get “emotional.” Karlaftis thought nothing of it.
In fact, with Jones’ mere suggestion, Karlaftis noted that he was probably about to cry, too!

What a beautiful and, ironically, hilarious exchange between two teammates on the NFL’s best team.
