It’s football tradition to give the game ball to the best player on the field. But sometimes, for special occasions of greatness, the game ball is presented to the extraordinary milestones that players achieve. As luck would have it for the Kansas City Chiefs, their very own QB witnessed such a special moment during the 2023 NFL Playoffs, on their path to a Super Bowl Victory. And no, we’re not talking about giving the game ball to the great Patrick Mahomes.

The brother duo of Jason and Travis Kelce planned a special surprise on their grand live podcast segment featuring the likes of Commissioner Roger Goodell, Tony Gonzales, and Patrick Mahomes as well, among others. But in the episode, they had a special gift for their 15-year veteran journeyman QB. 

Patrick Mahomes, Kelce Brothers and Chiefs Nation unite for final gift 

With a career spanning 15 long seasons, Chiefs backup QB Chad Henne, finally called it a day after his team’s historic Super Bowl run this year. Spending 15 seasons as a professional football player is an incredible achievement for any player, and his Chiefs teammates were huge supporters of the QB, all the way through, Which is why, it’s only fitting that they gave the QB one final gift.

Tom Brady learned to recover his footballs the hard way

While Chiefs fans and Henne’s teammates were graceful enough to scavenge through the depths of their fanbase and recover the football, many aren’t as lucky. Just ask Tom Brady. The QB lost his 600th TD ball amidst the crowd in a goof-up by teammate Mike Evans. But Brady’s bid to get the football back cost the QB fortunes. 

Brady traded with the fan who returned the ball to the 45-year-old, sending the fan one whole Bitcoin in exchange for him returning the ball. For a milestone as massive as the 600th TD for Tom, getting the football finally returned to him must have been quite a relief. Thankfully for Henne, he can sit back and relax with his freshly returned retirement ball.
