(Exclusive) Described as ‘Very Personable’ by Diehard Chiefs Fan: ‘He’s Just the Sweetest Guy’

Pam — a 57-year-old Chiefs fan from Lost Springs, Kansas — left her home at midnight and arrived at training camp around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 21 to snag a spot right in front of the goal post. A longtime training camp attendee, she knows where to head to for player autographs.

Kelce, 34, was not signing autographs on Sunday, but Pam says the tight end has always been “sweetest guy” — and recalled the very first time he signed something for her.“The first time we got his autograph, I had my mom with me, who is actually 87 this year,” Pam tells PEOPLE. “He stood right in front of us and my mom touched him on the arm. I was like, ‘Mom you can’t do that!’ But he didn’t mind.”

“He just kept thanking us for coming. He’s just the sweetest guy,” she says, noting that the tight end is also “so very personable.”

Kelce usually signs lots of autographs every day during training camp, but Pam says she didn’t see the star interacting with fans on Sunday — though there were plenty who showed up to catch a glimpse of him.
