After the Kansas City Chiefs signed Josh Gordon, NFL Twitter erupted with molten hot memes and reactions to the news.
Josh Gordon is already a bit of an NFL meme considering the many twists, turns and suspensions in his career so far.
Joining the Chiefs only made him a bigger talking point.
Gordon will be on the practice squad to start out. There’s no question he’ll play a role, positive or negative, in the story of Kansas City’s 2021 season.
So what did social media have to say about the big news?
What were the best Josh Gordon meme reactions after Chiefs signing?
There were nuanced takes, there were exaggerated takes, and there were memes. NFL Twitter was alive and buzzing when news of Gordon signing with the Chiefs dropped:
Gordon hasn’t played in the NFL since 2019 and even before his suspension for the 2020 season his appearances were irregular.
The Chiefs are taking a chance on him despite his past unreliability because they need someone to threaten defenses aside from Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. They’ve lost back-to-back games to the Ravens and Chargers, so the pressure is on to change things up for the better.
Gordon will have to work his way up the KC depth chart before he proves capable of that role.
NFL fans can trust Twitter will be watching his progress closely.
