As per Pro Football History, Andy Reid’s second son Britt has been with the Kansas City Chiefs since 2013. He began his career as a Defensive quality control coach. He became the assistant DL coach in 2015 and then the defensive line coach for the next three years. When Patrick Mahomes joined the Chiefs in 2017, he worked with the defensive unit.
