KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jaxson Kress may be the biggest Chiefs fan at the Ronald McDonald House in Kansas City, Missouri.
Dressed in full game-day garb from head to toe, Jaxson was on the edge of his seat with Chiefs star defensive tackle Chris Jones in the house Wednesday.
KSHB 41 Sports' Aaron Ladd asked Jaxson a few questions as he waited to meet his idol.
Q&A
Aaron: Are you a big Chris Jones fan?
Jaxson: Yes.
Aaron: Who’s your favorite Chiefs player right now?
Jaxson: Travis Kelce.
Aaron: What was it like seeing Chris walk in here today? What would you tell him?
Jaxson: I would tell him … to come play video games with me.
Aaron: What’s your favorite video game?
Jaxson: Fortnite.
Aaron: Did you watch the Super Bowl?
Jaxson: Yes.
Aaron: What was that like?
Jaxson: It was pretty good. I wanted to do a backflip.
Aaron: What do you remember about that game?
Jaxson: It inspired me because I really wanted to play football, but I got cancer, so I had to wait a couple of years. So I’m going to wait those years, and then I’m going to play football.
Aaron: It seems like you have a special relationship with the Chiefs.
Jaxson: Yeah.
Aaron: What would you tell Patrick Mahomes if you could tell him anything?

Shortly after Aaron spoke with Jaxson, he met Chris Jones.
And what did he ask?
Jaxson: “Can you get a sack for me this year?”
Jones: “I got you.”
Jaxson also showed off his moves to Jones as the DT mingled with families and handed out meals.
