Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has long been known as a dedicated Christian in addition to being a wonderful husband and father. In a candid interview with Jon Root on the “Breakaway Podcast” Butker shared his story of sticking with his morals by not getting the COVID vaccine.

“I was fully okay with stepping away from football.” Butker stated during the interview. “I’m going to stick to my principals and I’m not going to compromise. “In the end, football isn’t my life it’s my job. I love it. I love kicking, I love the Chiefs and I love playing.”

It didn’t take long for Kansas City media to jump on Butker for this interview as 810 WHB host Josh Briscoe, of course, went at Harrison immediately.

Butker, 27, will enter his seventh NFL season in 2022. He was signed by the Chiefs from the Panthers practice squad back in 2017.
