Chiefs Kingdom was reintroduced to Kansas City Chiefs fullback Carson Steele’s pet and long-time friend, Crocky J, via social media. In a recent Instagram post, Steele is holding his pet alligator, which has grown considerably.
“He (Crocky J) kind of represents me, especially a kid from the Midwest coming to L.A. with blond hair. (It) doesn’t look like he should be from Indiana, you know?” Steele said during his interview with the Los Angeles Times last summer. “Might as well throw in an alligator.”
The former UCLA Bruins standout made the most of his invite opportunity to camp in 2024 after going undrafted and immediately leaving an impression on his teammates and coaching staff. Last season, Steele ran for 183 yards on 56 carries, splitting time as the lead running back and fullback. He had fumbling issues to start the year, and after the signing of veteran Kareem Hunt, he saw his snaps limited for the rest of the campaign.
It’s good to see Crocky J doing well as the Chiefs’ OTAs continue this offseason.
