As the Kansas City Chiefs return to training camp, it seems that the team’s confidence is at an all-time high considering how the team now shifts its eyes towards claiming a three-peat that has been rumored to be the new groove in the NFL with the team winning back-to-back Super Bowl runs. For Chris Jones, this kind of confidence runs along for the whole team at this point in time.

After an eventful 2023 campaign that left Jones as the richest interior defensive linesman in the game, the 30-year-old now believes that this offseason has been quite the mind games for the team considering how well they are preparing for a promising campaign that will see them rewarded with undeniable glory in the game if they are successful.

Jones believes that Kansas City has what it takes to win, and it cannot be denied that this confidence comes from the spark of hype that the team has enjoyed as soon as they won the Super Bowl last February, showing how well they are able to beat contenders from time to time with almost the same roster one year after another.

Touch of Confidence in the Team

Jones in the training camp along with the rest of the squad shows how the team is utterly dedicated to winning, and even the five-time Pro Bowler believes that he and the rest of the team are definitely locked in towards the hopes of winning the Super Bowl for the third year in a row, a feat that hasn’t been touched in a very long time.

"I think chasing history is all part of it," he said. "When a lot of players retire, they always say that they want to leave the game better than they started. If we can get this three-peat and continue to adding legacy to the Kansas City Chiefs, I think that would be a huge accomplishment, not only for us but for the NFL."

Kansas City’s opportunity comes as a “once in a blue moon” chance. Considering that the team has already won back to back, one can hope to see them come back on the big stage once more and deliver a promising campaign that would certainly immortalize the Kansas City dynasty and even challenge the dominance of other teams in the past such as Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Jones’ Motivation in the Game

Jones enters the coming season after a promising campaign that led him to finish as an All-Pro, where he produced 0.5 sacks, 39 QB pressures, 29 QB hits and 13 tackles for loss in 2023. For those who don’t know, Jones just led the youngest defensive unit in the NFL to yet another Super Bowl run, which speaks volumes to the impact that he brings into the game at this point.

"I think the core values of the team," Jones said. "Be humble, stay hungry and I think that's the core value of every year. Coming in humble and hungry, you know, it's a new year and new beginning. We have a new team. Last year's team was successful in accomplishing the overall goal of winning a championship. This year it's all about new challenges. We have a lot of new guys and a lot of new challenges ahead of us and we are excited for it."

Jones is actively showing that the team is ready to take on the challenge of the three-peat, and so does the rest of the Chiefs. Even at the age of 30, his aspirations are all for his career – to leave a legacy behind.
