During his press conference on Tuesday, Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones discussed his motivations for the 2025 season.

“We got a lot of new guys coming in, especially dealing with a loss in the Super Bowl. So you know, I wanted to get right back in it,” said Jones. “I mean, you use a lot of things as a motivation, especially this past season, but you know, the biggest motivation, making it to the big game, losing, and not only losing, losing the way we did. I think a lot of people in the building feel like we could have done better. We feel like we’re better. And, you know, getting back to the mountain top.”

Jones had been present throughout the voluntary offseason workouts. The veterans are focused early on making amends for the Super Bowl LIX disappointment.

During the 2024 season, Jones earned his third consecutive first-team All-Pro selection and sixth straight Pro Bowl invitation. He finished the 2024 regular season with five sacks and 37 tackles in 15 games.
