While the Kansas City Chiefs maintain their status as one of the top teams in the NFL, Andy Reid’s situation is not the same. The HC often faces backlash and criticism despite his team winning back-to-back Super Bowl championships.
Now, Andy Reid is once again in the spotlight after a retired NFL punter, Dustin Colquitt, shared a weird conversation he had with the coach and publicly shared Reid’s beliefs about a player’s physique.
Andy Reid on vital trait every NFL player must have
Dustin Colquitt no longer plays in the NFL, but he still remembers Andy Reid’s comments about one vital trait of every NFL player. The former punter shared that the coach told him about the importance of having a big butt in the NFL.
He explained that despite his status as a two-time Pro Bowl selection he was urged by the coach to maintain the size of his backside. Andy Reid believes that having a ‘big a**’ is the most important requirement to stay as one of the top punters.
“He’d sit down with me and be like, ‘You went to the Pro Bowl, and we don’t have much to say to you. But don’t lose your butt. Punters have to have big butts,’” Colquitt told The Athletic.
He further explained that the HC warned him about losing his physique. “As soon as you start to look like you’re going downhill from a physique standpoint, you’re out of here. Keep that a** going,” Reid said according to Colquitt.
Having a strong physique, specifically a player’s rear back size does hold a lot of importance. However, Andy Reid’s “big a**” remarks drew some hilarious reactions from the fans.
