Kansas City Chiefs FB Carson Steele reintroduces 'Crocky J' to the world
Kansas City Chiefs FB Carson Steele reintroduces 'Crocky J' to the world Chiefs Kingdom was reintroduced to Kansas City Chiefs fullback Carson Steele's pet and long-time friend, Crocky J, via social media. In a recent Instagram post, Steele is holding his pet alligator, which has grown considerably. "He (Crocky J) kind of represents me, especially a kid from the Midwest coming to L.A. with blond hair. (It) doesn't look like he should be from Indiana, you know?" Steele said during his interview with the Los Angeles Times last summer. "Might as well throw in an alligator." The former UCLA Bruins standout made the most of his invite opportunity to camp in 2024 after going undrafted and immediately leaving an impression on his teammates and coaching staff. Last season, Steele ran for 183 yards on 56 carries, splitting time as the lead running back and fullback. He had fumbling issues to start the year, and after the signing of veteran Kareem Hunt, he saw his snaps limited for the rest of the campaign. It's good to see Crocky J doing well as the Chiefs' OTAs continue this offseason.

Kansas City Chiefs star leaves fans stunned with photo of himself with his terrifying pet animal
Kansas City Chiefs star Carson Steele posted a photo to social media of him holding his pet alligator, Crocky-J, that has left fans stunned with the terrifying creature. Steele, who is entering his second season with the Chiefs, uploaded the photo as the first in a larger roll showing off things he has recently done in his life. Steele is wearing a Chiefs hat alongside a black shirt and mesh shorts while holding Crocky-J, who appears to be smiling in the arms of his owner. Owning a pet alligator inspired Kansas City's roster to give Steele the nickname, crocodile, as a nod to the unconventional choice for a pet. 'I got him 2nd, 3rd grade probably as a Christmas present,' Steele said of his pet last year. 'So I've had him a little while now.' Steele said Crocky-J weighs between 90 and 100 pounds and his between four to five feet long. 'Just when you thought the Chiefs couldn't get anymore likeable they add this guy to the roster!' longtime reality television star and Kansas City native Wes Bergmann said on a video of Steele talking about his pet. Steele is originally from Greenwood, Indiana, which is about a half hour outside downtown Indianapolis. That part of the country is not known for being alligator-heavy, as opposed to in a state like Louisiana or Florida, which has plenty of swamps. Steele appeared in all 17 regular season games for the Chiefs last season and was second in Pro Bowl voting for fullbacks behind Baltimore's Patrick Ricard. Steele is thought of as a integral member of the Chiefs as they look to get back to their championship ways this fall after losing last year's Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles.
