At his weekly Monday news conference, Chiefs coach Andy Reid talked a bit about rookie receiver Tyreek Hill, who is starting to become an important part of the team’s offense.

If you’ve watched the Chiefs at all this season, you’ll know that Hill is a pretty fast guy. Following Sunday’s 20-17 win at Carolina, Chiefs coach Andy Reid talked about Hill.

“What’s that one sandwich shop (with the motto) freaky fast?” Reid said. “Well, he’s freaky fast. Which doesn’t hurt.”

Arrowhead Pride tweeted the quote:

That answer to that question is Jimmy John’s Sandwiches, right? If you haven’t eaten there, perhaps you are aware of their commercials.

Whatever the case, the company saw that tweet and had a funny response.
