“Saturday Night Live” star Heidi Gardner got to live out every Chiefs fan’s dream.

The Chiefs invited Gardner, actor/comedian Desi Banks and UFC star Megan Anderson, who has trained in Lee’s Summit, to the team’s facility. The trio got to see how Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spends a day.

That included learning plays, putting on the uniform (“I feel like I was just born,” Gardner quipped after slipping on shoulder pads), taking snaps, recuperating in the training room, answering questions from a media member and eating like an NFL player.

Oh, and Gardner also sneaked into Chiefs coach Andy Reid’s office.

The trio met equipment manager Allen Wright, assistant equipment managers Jay Wright and Holt McKenney, former Chiefs Tim Grunhard and Danan Hughes, assistant athletic trainer Evan Craft, executive chef Erin Wishon and team reporter Matt McMullen.

The three wannabe Mahomes’ had a little trouble remembering this play call, “Pro Right Zoom Two Jet X Curl Y Trips.”

Gardner called it this way: “We’re going to run a Q39, dry rub only and we’re going to run that all through the Jack Stack on the Plaza.”

So you get the idea. This is a fun video, and general manager Brett Veach makes an appearance, too.
