Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones recently recounted a hilarious mishap from his time at the NFL Scouting Combine in 2016 during an appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce’s podcast. The clip of Jones discussing his wardrobe malfunction went viral as this year's NFL Scouting Combine approaches.Jones, a former Mississippi State player, opted to wear short tights for his 40-yard dash, not realizing they would essentially be boxers. He explained that he wanted to stand out and be different from the others who were wearing long tights. As he ran, his private parts fell out, leading to a comical moment that the Kelce brothers couldn't help but joke about.Despite the embarrassing incident, Jones still managed to finish as the fifth-fastest among 300-pound defensive linemen and was drafted by the Chiefs in the second round. He has since become a key player in their defense, winning three Super Bowl titles with the team.Even years later, Jones can laugh about his slip-up at the Combine, proving that even in the high-stakes world of professional football, there is always room for a good-natured laugh at oneself.
