Andy Reid said he doesn’t play political football.

“I’m not into politics, that’s not my deal,” the Chiefs coach said on Thursday.

But there he was at fundraising events for Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer in Mission Hills and Wichita this week. As he told The Star before the events, Reid was helping a friend and breaking up the routine of "organized team activity" practices, which conclude next week.

“Normally I’m locked down in here,” Reid said. “It was a little unusual to get out of the building.”
