Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill highlighted a key aspect of a football player’s life that often gets overlooked. He spoke about the wives and the partners of football players who take care of everything but never receive the recognition or the media limelight that they deserve.

Tranquill won his first Super Bowl last season and is gearing up for another year with stiff competition from Nick Bolton for the primary edge rusher on the roster. On Sunday (July 28), following the Chiefs’ practice at St. Joseph, the 28-year-old faced the media, answering several questions about the team and stuff outside of football.

One of those topics involved the player’s families and their contributions to their lives.

Tranquill thanked his wife Jackie for being with him through thick and thin. In his eyes, she deserves immense credit for taking care of their three kids (one son and two daughters) and making their lives easier.

While the camp is going on, players usually don’t get many chances to see their family members because they have to stay at the facility. Even though spending time with teammates can be a great experience, players do miss their families.

After camp wrapped up on Sunday, Tranquill went back to his dorm and shared an emotional message on X (formerly Twitter) addressed to Jackie.

That’s not all; he left a special regard for all the mothers and wives of the Chiefs family.

The Los Angeles Chargers drafted Tranquill in the 4th round in 2019. He spent 4 seasons in LA before he moved to the Chiefs in 2023, lifted the Lombardi Trophy in his first year, and signed a 3-year extension.
