Kelsey lined up on the podium as President Joe Biden and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes turned away to reclaim the president’s Kansas City jersey.
He could barely speak until Mahomes pushed him away from the microphone.
“The president at the podium is iconic. That’s all I wanted to say, dude,” Kelth joked.
In addition to failing to give a speech at the rostrum, Kelth was unable to find the national treasure despite his efforts.
“I may have opened a door that wasn’t meant to be opened, but it was the mansion part of the White House, not the West Wing, which probably has all the good stuff,” he said.
Heading into this season, the Chiefs will strive to return to the White House next spring.
