    Chris Jones was hilariously blown away by Chiefs second-round pick during his pre-draft visit

    Kansas City Chiefs DT Chris Jones made a strong impression on second-round draft pick Kingsley Suamataia when he took his top-30 visit with the team earlier in April .

    Speaking to the media on Friday night, Suamataia revealed that he ran into Jones when he was in Kansas City for his visit. The ensuing interaction between Jones, Suamataia, and a staff member sounds like it could be straight out of a comedy movie.

    Fox 4 Kansas City reporter PJ Green shared the clip from Suamataia's media availability on Friday.

    "Yeah, so when I seen Chris (Jones), he asked the lady who was taking me around, he said, 'Hey, who that? Who have we got in today?' He thought I was already on the team. He was like, 'Who we have in now?' And then she was like, 'Oh no, he's on a 30 visit. He's from BYU.' And he was like, 'Gosh damn, you're big!' He was like, 'How old you is?' He was like, 'You 26, 27?' I was like, 'No, I just turned 21.' He was like, 'Oh. My. Gosh.' Chris Jones, himself. Like this is Chris Jones. The Bear, himself, walking around, that kills O-Linemen for a living. So, just being able to shake his hand and talk to him, and chop it up for a little bit was pretty dope. Yeah, super dope."

    The transcription doesn't quite do the video justice because hearing Suamataia's impression of Jones takes it to a new level of comedy. It must also be quite flattering to hear one of the NFL's premier defensive talents compliment you like that. Suamataia is listed at 6-foot-6 and 325 pounds, so it's certainly a warranted response from Jones. Now, the two can go against each other during practice once training camp in St. Joe ensues.
