LT Josh Simmons Can’t Wait to Meet QB Mahomes & TE Kelce After Being Selected”
Josh Simmons had always dreamed of playing in the NFL, but hearing his name called on draft night felt surreal. Surrounded by family and friends, he could hardly believe it when the Kansas City Chiefs selected him as their newest left tackle. The room erupted in cheers, but Josh’s mind was already racing ahead to his new life—and the legendary teammates he would soon meet.
Growing up, Josh idolized Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs’ superstar quarterback, and Travis Kelce, their dynamic tight end. He’d watched countless highlight reels of Mahomes’ no-look passes and Kelce’s unstoppable routes. Now, he would be protecting Mahomes on the field and sharing the locker room with both icons.
As the news broke, reporters flocked to Josh for interviews. “What are you most excited about?” one asked. Josh grinned, barely containing his enthusiasm. “Honestly, I can’t wait to meet Mahomes and Kelce. Those guys are legends. I’ve watched them for years, and now I get to block for Patrick and help Travis do what he does best. It’s a dream come true.”
The next day, Josh flew to Kansas City for his first tour of the Chiefs’ facilities. He was greeted by coaches, trainers, and a handful of veteran players. But nothing compared to the moment he finally met Mahomes and Kelce in person. Mahomes welcomed him with a firm handshake and a smile. “Glad to have you here, man. We’re going to do big things together.” Kelce, ever the jokester, slapped Josh on the back and said, “Hope you’re ready to keep Pat upright—no pressure!”
Josh laughed, feeling instantly at home. The three spent time talking plays, sharing stories, and discussing their goals for the season. Josh listened intently, eager to learn from two of the best in the game.
Over the next few weeks, Josh threw himself into training camp, determined to earn his spot and prove he belonged. Mahomes and Kelce offered guidance and encouragement, helping him adjust to the speed and complexity of the NFL. With every practice, Josh grew more confident, inspired by the trust his teammates placed in him.
As the season approached, Josh Simmons knew challenges awaited. But with Mahomes and Kelce by his side, he felt ready to face anything. More than just living out his dream, he was now part of a brotherhood—one built on hard work, respect, and the pursuit of greatness.
And for Josh, the best part was just beginning.
