“I do have an awareness, enough to know that when people hear that I’d be picked for this, they would say, ‘What?’,” Rudd told People on Wednesday, November 10.
“I mean I’m going to lean into it hard. I’m going to own this,” he continued. “I’m not going to try to be like ‘Oh, I’m so modest.’ I’m getting business cards made. But all of my friends will destroy me and I expect them to. And that’s why they’re my friends.”
Rudd a Longtime Chiefs Fan
Rudd — who went to both junior high and high school in the Kansas City area as well as the University of Kansas — has been a fan of the defending AFC champions since he was a boy. He was even seen celebrating on the field during Kansas City’s win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV.
