Chiefs players received Super Bowl sendoffs from their neighbors around Kansas City

If all goes well for the Chiefs, then the cheers that some players heard Sunday are just the beginning.

The Chiefs players left for New Orleans ahead of a Super Bowl LIX matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The team flew to the Big Easy after meeting at Kansas City International Airport.

When leaving their homes, some of the Chiefs players were given a special sendoff from their neighbors, and they shared videos on social media.

Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster posted a video to his Insta story and wrote: “love & support in the neighborhood.”

Tight end Noah Gray’s sendoff included the Olathe police department.

And receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown shared this video of his neighbors wishing him a fond farewell. He also appeared to have an escort from law enforcement.
