Chiefs' James Winchester shows off his MAGA hat after overtime win against Bucs


Kansas City Chiefs long snapper James Winchester, a three-time Super Bowl champion, became the latest professional athlete to endorse former President Donald Trump in the election.

Following the Chiefs' overtime victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Winchester was seen in a photo wearing a Make America Great Again hat while standing at Arrowhead Stadium's GEHA Field. Greg Price posted the photo on his X account.

Winchester, 35, did not express support in any way on his social media accounts.

On Monday night, Patrick Mahomes' mother, Randi, offered her support to the former president. She was seen in a video obtained by OutKick wearing a Make America Great Again hat while watching her son take on the Buccaneers.

The support for Winchester's MAGA hat came a little more than a week after San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa showed off his own hat during the NBC broadcast last weekend. Bosa did the trick after the 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys.

Bosa did not elaborate on the support, only telling reporters: “I'm not going to talk much about it, but I think it's an important moment.”

Winchester's own teammate, Harrison Butker, endorsed Trump earlier this year and founded his own political action committee.

“I'm rooting for the president who will be the most pro-life president, and I think Donald Trump is the most pro-life president,” Butker said on “The Ingraham Angle.”
