The echoes of Arrowhead can be hard to shake, especially for those who once called it home. Across the league, players chase opportunity, but not every move brings the satisfaction they expect.
A familiar face in both red and gold, and later orange and blue, quietly revealed that sometimes the grass isn’t greener on the other side. The journey from Kansas City to Denver wasn’t just a change of uniform — it was a lesson in what truly matters.
After playing 33 games for the Chiefs from 2021 to 2022, the hard-nosed fullback made his mark as a special teams ace and a trusted blocker for Patrick Mahomes and company.
But following free agency in 2023, he accepted Denver’s offer, ready for a fresh start.It didn’t take long before the realization set in. “I thought leaving for Denver was the right move, but deep down, I’ve always regretted it. My proudest years were with the Chiefs — there’s nothing like being part of that family and wearing the red and gold. Some choices you can’t take back.”
During the 2024 season in Denver, he logged 17 games, bringing his trademark grit to the Broncos offense. Yet, while the effort never waned, something essential was missing — the chemistry, culture, and unity that defined his Kansas City tenure.
Fans in Kansas City still remember his contributions, his relentless blocking, and his unselfish play that opened lanes for star runners. Many believed he embodied what it meant to be a Chief, and the bond with the fanbase never faded.
Now, as he reflects on a career that crossed AFC West battle lines, the former fullback’s words echo a sentiment shared by many veterans: home isn’t just a city, but a family, a culture, and a sense of belonging.
For the Chiefs Kingdom, his regret is a reminder of the legacy players help build — and the loyalty that lingers long after the final whistle.
