Super Bowl week is full of a lot of pageantries. One of those is media day where every player and coach is grilled with questions of all sorts. One reporter asked Chiefs’ defensive lineman Frank Clark who the biggest trash talker on the team was and his answer was surprising.
Who talks the most trash on the @Chiefs?
According to @TheRealFrankC_, its punter @tommy_townsend 🤣

Frank Clark Says Tommy Townsend Is Team’s Biggest Trash Talker
After their victory over the Bengals, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes were not quiet. Kelce famously interrupted a postgame interview to say, “Burrowhead my a–!”. However, Clark says that the team’s biggest trash-talker is none other than the punter, Tommy Townsend. “My punter Tommy Townsend talk the most trash, I swear to y’all. If he say he don’t, I don’t want to call him a lying man, but Tommy Townsend talk trash, y’all.” Clark said when asked. This is was an unexpected answer but one that brought lots of laughs.
A Good Reason To Talk
Townsend has the accolades to back his talk up. He was named a Pro Bowler and earned first-team All-Pro honors. He will never get talked about amongst the glut of talent that Kansas City has but his play is a big reason why the Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl. Flipping the field and pinning opponents inside the 20-yard line makes a difference. It can be frustrating when the biggest trash talkers do not back their talk up but Townsend certainly does.
