This is not the way Chiefs fans wanted to see Jamaal Charles at the Super Bowl, but he certainly seems to be making the most of his time in New York. For the last two days Charles has been everywhere, doing everything from promotional appearances to DJing to hanging out with Hall of Famers to, well, more DJing.
One fan managed to track Charles down at an event got get him to sign a mockup of his fantasy football championship final score, a matchup he won because of Charles.

Then there is the time he hung out with Hall of Fame running back
Barry Sanders. Hopefully Sanders didn’t convince Charles to retire at the top of his game.
Not everyone he’s hung out with has been cool, though. At a Nutrilite appearance Charles was forced into a photo with former Denver Donkey Mark Schlereth and Robert Griffin III’s Insurance Policy.

When Charles hasn’t been pimping Xbox One, he’s been DJing. Lots and lots of DJing.
Pretty cool being able to dj last night at #lesouk with @jcharles25 of the Kansas City chiefs there. #raffaeldeluca

It is good to see Charles getting the love he absolutely deserves. But I wish we were seeing way less DJing tweets during Super Bowl weekend and way more of this:
