In a manner of speaking, the Cincinnati Bengals swiped Orlando Brown Jr. from the Kansas City Chiefs in the early stages of free agency, taking one of the best tackles in football from Patrick Mahomes and putting him in front of Joe Burrow.
Browns’ now-former teammate Travis Kelce has a few thoughts on that development.
Appearing on his “New Heights” podcast with brother and fellow former UC legend Jason Kelce, Travis dished his thoughts on the development.
“It stings,” Travis said. “It hurts. It hurts my soul, man. It’s like watching your best friend just turn evil on you. Obviously, the past, like, two years we’ve struggled beating the Bengals, so there’s been a lot of build-up in emotion of like, I wouldn’t say ‘hate’ but dislike towards the Bengals because they keep beating us and they keep talking about it every time they do. To see him go to the dark side, it’s an awkward feeling.”
Travis went on to obviously wish Brown nothing but the best on his career in Cincinnati, but it’s still fun to hear the thoughts of a current Chiefs player on the subject.
Both Brown and Scott will get a reunion of sorts next season as the Bengals and Chiefs will again encounter one another in the regular season, this time in Kansas City.
