Expanding on that same bond, Jones said, “He’s been amazing. He’s been like, don’t kill me for this, like the white father in my life.” The DT further opened up about his connection with the Reid family as well. “He’s been very inspirational. His son, Britt Reid, is like a brother to me. His wife Sparkles, she’s like a mother to me, too. So, you know, for me, he’s been family.”

Jones had a lot more to say about his ‘white father’. He explained, “We’re having those talks. Those mature talks are just having a little five-minute conversation about life and getting the laugh out of it. I think those small things in life go a long way“. Whether the DT will choose to stay with the Chiefs or not, it is clear as day that he enjoys being in the team’s presence and loves the culture present there.
