It’s not every day that professional football players get caught up in a teenage love triangle debate, but the Kansas City Chiefs found themselves going viral for doing just that. In a lighthearted locker room moment, Chiefs players were asked to pick sides in the popular Amazon Prime series The Summer I Turned Pretty — choosing between Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah.
Chiefs players turn locker room into a rom-com debate
The clip, shared by the Chiefs’ official account and amplified by @_MLFootball, quickly made the rounds on social media. While the players are usually grilled about game plans and rival defenses, this time the questions were all about which fictional boyfriend they’d back.
One answer, in particular, stole the spotlight: “My wife would be mad if I said Jeremiah… so Conrad.” The response had fans cracking up online, with many noting how carefully players balanced humor with domestic diplomacy. The emojis that followed — 💀💀💀 — summed up just how funny the moment was to viewers.

What stood out most about the viral exchange was how human it made the players appear. Instead of breaking down defensive schemes or
Patrick Mahomes’ passing options, the Chiefs were suddenly no different from any group of friends caught up in a binge-worthy drama.
Fans quickly chimed in, with some shocked that NFL players even had strong opinions on The Summer I Turned Pretty. One X user joked, “No way the Chiefs are team Jeremiah.”
