Hometown of Chiefs general manager Brett Veach picked a special road to name after him
Nearly a decade before he became the Chiefs general manager, Brett Veach was a star player himself.
Veach won a championship with the Mount Carmel Area School District in Pennsylvania in 1996. The Daily Item said Mount Carmel finished 15-0 that season, and Veach was voted the Associated Press Small School Player of the Year after he rushed for 2,163 yards and 26 touchdowns.
Now the street next to The Silver Bowl, where the Red Tornadoes play and Veach once ran wild, has been named after the Chiefs general manager, per the Daily Item.
Over the weekend, Veach was in Mount Carmel and he brought the Lombardi Trophy with him (take note of the weight room at the high school):
Veach told ESPN that he has fond memories of growing up in Mount Carmel.
“People say there’s nothing to do in a rundown coal mining town of 5,000 people, but all we needed to be happy was football and family,” Veach told ESPN. “To have my name attached to the street where my love for football first started is really an honor I can’t put into words.
“I love Mount Carmel and am thankful to have been raised there.”
It also appears the city is happy to call him a favorite son.
