During comments to the media on Monday, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed a question about the presence of former Las Vegas Raiders skipper Jon Gruden at Kansas City's practice sessions over the past few days.
"He loves football," Reid explained of Gruden. "He and I go way back 30 years, so we've known each other for a long time. So it's good to get him up here. He's always had good input on things. He's very smart. He's a great football coach."
Reid and Gruden worked together as coordinators for the Green Bay Packers in the 1990s, well before they became head coaches in the NFL.
Gruden found plenty of success in his career, winning a Super Bowl title as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and making his mark in two stints with the Raiders.
" enjoy having him around," Reid said of his old teammate. "[He brings] great energy."
