Reid, kindly, stated that there were no feelings between both of them and even praised him a little.
The coach said, “He loves to play the game and he loves to help his team win. It’s not a selfish thing. As much as he bumps into me, I get after him. We understand that. He just caught me off balance.”
Kelce also dedicated the trophy to Reid and praised him, saying, “I put so much trust in him and how he goes about being a head coach, as a leader — he’s one of the best leaders in the game. I can’t thank him enough for giving me opportunities year in, year out. This third one, this second one back-to-back, this one’s for him, no doubt.”
“I’ve got the greatest coach this game has ever seen,” he added, “unbelievable at not only dialling up plays and having the guys prepared, but he’s one of the best leaders of men that I’ve ever seen in my life.“
Kelce continued and said, “He’s helped me a lot with channelling that emotion, channelling that passion and I owe my entire career to that guy and being able to control how emotional I get. I just love him.”
