Kansas City, Missouri – During the bye week, three top stars of the Kansas City Chiefs – Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Chris Jones – together went to Frisco, Texas to attend the funeral of Dallas Cowboys defensive player Marshawn Kneeland. Their appearance was not just a personal action, but also a symbol of unity and compassion that transcends team boundaries in the NFL.
Kneeland, only 24 years old, passed away suddenly causing the entire league to be stunned. He was known as a dedicated player, humble and always fighting his best on the field. In the somber atmosphere at the church in Frisco, the three Chiefs stars appeared quietly, placing a memorial wreath and bowing before the portrait of the colleague – an image that moved the entire football community.
Head coach Andy Reid said the team fully supports this action of his players. “There are moments that make us remember that, before being rivals, we are humans – sharing the same passion, the same playground.” Reid said with a choked voice. “Marshawn deserves respect from all of us.”
Patrick Mahomes, the representative face of the Chiefs, spoke after the ceremony: “We didn’t come here for fame or media. We came for humanity – because in football, we are a family. This loss reminds us that life is fragile, and the most important thing is to leave love.”
Travis Kelce and Chris Jones both shared similar emotions. Kelce said quietly: “No more jerseys, no more scoreboard. Only respect.” Chris Jones added: “Marshawn fought like a warrior. Today, we came to say thank you for that spirit.”
The Chiefs will return to practice next week, carrying the message that – in the NFL world, brotherhood is always greater than any game.
