There were a number of heroes for the Chiefs in their Super Bowl LVIII win over the 49ers.
That includes linebacker Leo Chenal, who forced a fumble and blocked a 49ers’ extra-point attempt in the fourth quarter that kept the Chiefs’ deficit at three points.
That’s not the blocked kick that most fans remember about Chenal. Last season, he blocked a potential game-winning kick by the Broncos at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. It was an electric moment.
Chenal also has had arguably the most athletic move of any Chiefs player during their dynasty. It came after the Super Bowl LVII victory when he climbed up one of those double-decker buses.
Remember this?
You may not see numerous 54 jerseys around Arrowhead Stadium, but Chenal is a fan favorite. That’s why some were concerned Wednesday when he shared photos on Instagram with the song, “if this is the last time” by LANY. He wrote: “Trust in Him” and added a praying emoji.
Chenal will be an unrestricted free agent after the season, and it’s no stretch to wonder if he expects to leave the team. Chenal later removed the song, but an X user named Lani shared it.
Chenal has a shoulder injury and didn’t practice Wednesday, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. That may have led to Chenal thinking about his future.
Fans showed their love for Chenal in comments of the post.
“Stay in kc ❤️,” one wrote.
Another shared this: “We need you back brother you’re very appreciated!”
“Chiefs kingdom loves you so much more than any other fanbase would btw,” wrote a third.
