Chris Jones predicted earlier this week that the Kansas City Chiefs would win “more than five” rings in the coming years. Teammate Tyreek Hill on Thursday went even further.
The wide receiver said on ESPN’s First Take that he believes the loaded Chiefs roster, led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, will win seven championships.
“Well, I’m not going to say he’s telling a lie,” Hill said when asked about Jones’ comments. “But Chris Jones is definitely, he’s definitely a man of his word, and we’re definitely creating something special here at KC, so I don’t see why not. Why say five? Why not make seven rings? Right now just we are chasing [Michael] Jordan, that’s what we do. So I go over five and say seven. “
Jordan won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls. Only two NFL franchises have won six Super Bowls: the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory in February was the first in the franchise.
On Monday, in a radio interview with KCSP 610 Sports Radio, Jones said: “This is just the beginning.
“We plan to have another parade and another parade and another parade. We will make sure we don’t bring one, not two, not three, not four, but more than five rings to Kansas City. It’s been 50 years of waiting, but the wait is over now It is time to create a dynasty, “he said.
The Chiefs, just signed by Jones and Mahomes for long-term extensions, are well positioned to dominate in the near future. The Super Bowl champions have all their core players now signed until at least 2021 as they play at their best, setting up a possible dynasty career.
