NFL training camps are underway and while it’s a time to knock off rust from the offseason, there’s also a little fun to be had. The latter was definitely the case on Monday at Chiefs camp.
As media gathered for Andy Reid’s press conference, they were addressed by the Chiefs head coach twice. Only the first time wasn’t Andy Reid. It was his clone, Chris Wilhelm.

Wilhelm’s resemblance is striking and he opened the press conference like a pro. Address any injuries, check. Say the team is looking great, did that as well. Then, the real Andy Reid took over.
For Wilhelm, it was a moment he won’t soon forget. “This is the greatest day ever, man,” Wilhelm told The Kansas City Star. “I’ve been trying to meet Andy for three years and I just did an NFL press conference, man. Life doesn’t get much better.”
Hats off to the Chiefs for making the moment happen.
