New acquired Chiefs WR Josh Downs speaks on path to Kansas City

It was like 3:30, 3:45, and I get a text, and they were like, hey, come see me at the facility. And I was like, oh, I was surprised, and had to move quick and get things going right away. And I was on a plane about three hours later, and now I'm here. It's great to join a team like this with so much history and so much winning in their past and even now. So I'm excited to be able to be a part of a group like this and contribute where I can. Yeah, I mean, that was actually my genuine emotion. It wasn't anything like to throw salt on anybody. I just was excited for the opportunity, and it was simple as that. And then those were literally my emotions. I kind of screamed when I saw the text, but, you know, some people don't like that. You know, I apologize to those who don't, but that was my reaction. You know, you want to go where you're wanted, and they're pursuing me, so I'm definitely excited to join a team that thinks I have value. Patrick Mahomes, that's like a close friend that I've worked with years ago, so me and him are pretty close as well. So they're just, you know, breaking me in, kind of telling me what are some good areas to stay in, and I'm going to start looking into that and, you know, possibly getting some good food spots. You know, I like to eat, so I'm a little skinny, but I do like to eat. I do like to eat. What are your memories of playing in front of this crowd and what it'll be like in a couple weeks when you get to play in front of them? Yeah, no, it's a very, very loud crowd. They're into it. I remember we came here week two, and the tailgate was just crazy before the game, and I was just like, dang, I'm like, this looks like SEC kind of like. I'd never seen that out of an NFL stadium for real, so that was really cool to me. And then, you know, the chant, that's always cool to hear, and I'm excited to get out there and feel the energy.
