For the second year in a row… Commander in Chiefs.

“Back to back,” Biden said during his rather brief remarks Friday facing the South Lawn of the White House. “I kind of like that.”

About 30 Chiefs players, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Tavis Kelce, made the trip.

Head coach Andy Reid and several members of his coaching staff, general manager Brett Veach and owner Clark Hunt were also in attendance. “The amazing thing about sports is how they can bring a community together … there’s a lot that can divide us today, but for so many of us, sports provide a unifying joy that we all need,” Hunt said. “My fellow Americans,” Kelce began. “I’m going to be honest President Biden, they told me I’d get tased if I came up here, so I’m going back to my spot.”

(A reporter did shout a question asking Kelce about Taylor Swift’s whereabouts. Kelce seemed nonplussed by the inquiry.)

The most exciting part of the ceremony was when a group of Chiefs encouraged Biden to put on the Chiefs helmet that sat on a table next to the Lombardi Trophy. The president obliged, and the Chiefs loved it. “We got the royal treatment,” Reid told reporters after the ceremony. “Had a nice tour. Listen, I don’t know how many presidents try on your team’s helmet.”

What made this trip special, Mahomes said, was acting like a tour guide for his teammates who did not have the chance to experience the trip the year prior. He pointed out portraits and furniture he recognized.
