The NBC broadcast cut to a shot of Crocky J as the hosts discussed Steele’s unusual pet. Steele was at Steele’s parents’ home in Indiana, working to get the proper documentation for the alligator to come to Kansas City.

Social media users immediately fell in love with the pet, expressing their excitement about Crocky J via X.

“I just heard about Crocky J and I would die for him,” one person wrote.

“I’m here for Crocky J,” another commented.

“Let’s get more Crocky J and less Taylor this season,” a third person wrote.

Steele impressed many people during training camp and the pre-season after signing with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent.

During a recent episode of “The New Heights Podcast,” Travis Kelce praised Steele and what he accomplished during training camp.

“I think he’s a little bit more than a fullback. He’s athletic and he can do some things with the ball in his hands,” Kelce said.

“Plus, he’s a real special teams guy. A ‘whatever you want me to do’ type of coach.”
