The Kansas City Chiefs’ top free-agent signing, Joe Thuney, has the reputation of being incredibly smart as a football player, but his talents extend beyond the gridiron.
One way that Thuney shown off his smarts over the years is his mastery of the Rubik’s cube. When he’s really focused and locked in he’s able to solve one in under two minutes. The Chiefs’ social media team shared a past video of his hidden talent on Friday.

Apparently, this talent has been years in the making. Thuney has his brother and his competitive drive to thank for it.
“My brother got [a Rubik’s cube] probably 10 years ago and it came with instructions how to do it,” Thuney told USA TODAY Sports in 2016. “Of course, he was doing it and I got jealous and I wanted to beat him, so I learned how to do it. Just followed the manual. It took probably a couple days to a week to get it down pat. Ever since then, I could just pick one up or just do it from memory and try to go faster and faster.”
With that type of memory recall, Thuney should be able to pick up Andy Reid’s playbook in no time.
