Rich Eisen is one of the most famous NFL media personalities out there. With his influence in the league, he can attract many NFL stars to his show, and just recently, Chris Jones gave him one of the most interesting pieces of information in a long time.
Jones is one of the premier players in the NFL and plays for one of the league’s most popular teams, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs edge rusher plays under the same head coach as players like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, so it’s always intriguing when we get tidbits from the locker room.
In his recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Jones revealed one of the more interesting rules the Chiefs bench boss has for his players, and honestly, it’s not what fans may expect to be important to a coach.
After being asked if he’s ever had to scold a teammate for anything, Jones replied that they usually “have talks” before explaining that it’s usually with rookies trying to understand the unwritten rules of the locker room.
No Black Cleats Allowed In The Chiefs Locker Room, According To Star Chris Jones
“Usually younger guys trying to figure out how to do things, mostly just showing them the way, showing them how it’s usually done here… or a new guy coming on the team and not understanding how this organization operates,” Jones explained before revealing that Reid doesn’t allow players to wear black cleats in the locker room.
“We don’t wear black cleats. It’s simple, but this organization has these little things that we follow by that sometimes players don’t know,” Jones continued before being asked why the players aren’t allowed to sport black cleats in the locker room.
“Listen, I don’t know… I just work here! I don’t make the rules,” claimed the three-time Super Bowl champion. While he may not be allowed to wear black cleats in the locker room, it’s probably for good reason, as the Chiefs are off to a perfect 4-0 start and look to make it 5-0 when they take on the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.
