2024: Best and Worst Autographs of the Kansas City Chiefs: A Look at Penmanship

Hey Chiefs Kingdom! If you're a fan of collecting memorabilia, there's nothing quite like snagging a signature from your Kansas City Chief! Autographs can be a great way to capture a moment in time, and let’s be honest, the penmanship of some players can be just as memorable as their on-field performances. Today, we’re diving into the best and worst autographs from the current Kansas City Chiefs roster—so grab your pens and let's get into it!


The Best:

  1. Andy Reid: First up is the man himself, Head Coach Andy Reid. Known for his brilliant strategies and impressive mustache, Reid's autograph is more than just a signature; it’s a piece of history. His penmanship reflects his personality—bold and confident. It’s a must-have for any serious collector, especially with his track record of transforming the Chiefs into a Super Bowl-winning team. Plus, who wouldn’t want a signed item from a coach with such a legendary status?

  1. James Winchester: Next, we have long snapper James Winchester. While long snappers might not get the glory they deserve, Winchester’s autograph definitely stands out. His signature is neat and crisp, showcasing the precision that is essential in his role on the team. Collectors appreciate that Winchester takes his time with each autograph, making every one a unique treasure. It’s not just a name on a piece of memorabilia; it’s a testament to his dedication and reliability on the field.

  1. Harrison Butker: Last but not least on our “best” list is kicker Harrison Butker. Butker’s autograph is solid, much like his kicking technique! His letters are well-formed and flow effortlessly, which makes his signature a favorite among fans. Every time he nails a game-winning kick, you’ll want to be able to show off a piece of that success with his autograph in your collection. This year he has decided to add the inscription AMDG beneath his signature  which is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, which translates to "For the greater glory of God.”

The Worst:

  1. Leo Chenal: Now, let’s switch gears and talk about the worst autographs. Linebacker Leo Chenal may be a promising player, but his autograph could use some work. His signature is rushed and difficult to decipher, which can leave collectors scratching their heads. While his talent is evident on the field, his penmanship hasn’t quite caught up. With time, who knows? Maybe it will get worse!

  1. Jared Wiley: Rookie tight end Jared Wiley is next on the list. While he has the potential to be a star, his autograph currently lacks flair. It’s basically a “J” and scribble. However, as he finds his footing in the league, and hopefully gets more popular the autograph might even get worse!

  1. Patrick Mahomes: Finally, we have the superstar himself, Patrick Mahomes. While his game is flawless, his autograph has become a bit difficult to read. With so much demand for signed items Mahomes made his sig shorter and shorter over the years. Mahomes’ signature has lost some of its uniqueness. Let’s be real though - everyone still wants an autograph from this legend!
