Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce Surprise Andy Reid with the Ultimate Christmas Gift for ‘Big Red’
Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have proven they’re not just elite athletes but also masters of the perfect holiday gift. This Christmas, the dynamic duo teamed up to surprise their head coach, Andy Reid, affectionately known as “Big Red,” with a present that left him beaming.
Reid, known for his love of food and his larger-than-life personality, was gifted a custom barbecue smoker engraved with the Chiefs’ logo and his nickname, “Big Red.” The smoker, equipped with all the bells and whistles, was tailored to suit Reid’s legendary grilling skills, a hobby he often shares with the team during off-seasons.
In a statement, Kelce joked, “We couldn’t let Christmas go by without giving Coach Reid something he’d actually use—and maybe invite us over to enjoy.” Mahomes added with a grin, “We know how much he loves cooking, so we figured we’d upgrade his setup. Now he has no excuse not to host the best barbecue in Kansas City.”
The gift exchange reportedly took place at a team holiday gathering, where Reid was visibly touched by the thoughtful gesture. “These guys know me too well,” Reid said with a laugh. “It’s not just about the gift—it’s about the thought behind it. I’ll definitely put it to good use.”
Fans quickly caught wind of the story, with social media buzzing about the heartfelt moment. Many praised Mahomes and Kelce for their camaraderie and the close-knit bond they share with their coach.
One fan tweeted, “Andy Reid with a top-tier barbecue smoker? The Chiefs are winning Christmas this year!” Another added, “Big Red deserves the world. This is just perfect.”
As the Chiefs continue their playoff push, it’s moments like these that highlight the team’s chemistry and sense of family. With Andy Reid’s new smoker ready to fire up, it’s safe to say the holidays in Kansas City just got a little more delicious.
