Kansas City Chiefs TE Jody Fortson was the latest player to be mic’d up during the preseason, giving fans an inside look at what one of their favorite players is like on the field.
“There’s just something about this red that makes me feel alive,” Fortson declared to Noah Gray during warmups. “Don’t you feel alive? Alive baby!”
Fortson certainly falls under the “energy giver” category, boasting an infectious energy throughout the game. Even when he was on the sidelines you could see and hear him cheering his teammates on.
You get a chance to see his excitement for his teammates on the field too. Fortson participated in Blake Bell’s touchdown celebration, spiking the ball and screaming his full head off in the process.
“I didn’t know you had a left spike like that,” Chiefs TE Travis Kelce told Fortson on the sidelines. “Go ahead and get in there too.”
Despite Kelce’s encouragement, Fortson wouldn’t end up in end zone this week. He did, however, make a killer play on special teams. He also had a key block on Gore’s touchdown run, a catch late to help ice the game and he continued to support his teammates when they scored.
