Los Angeles Chargers rookie offensive tackle Joe Alt is now playing for the division rival of his dad, John Alt. With the Bolts taking Joe fifth overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, he is set to face his dad's team twice a year.
John played offensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs from 1984-96, spending his entire career as a Chief. Like Joe, John was a first-round pick, with the Chiefs taking him 21st overall in 1984. John was not just a Chief for over a decade, but one of the greats in the franchise's history. He was a two-time Pro Bowler and is a member of the Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame.
When the Chargers and Chiefs do end up facing up twice a year, John will have to choose between rooting for his son and his former team. Joe has indicated a chance that his dad will wear the rival colors. When Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz called Joe Alt to let him know they were getting picked, he asked if John Alt would wear powder blue, to which Joe Alt said,"I think he will," via theJoe is expected to have similar kind of impact that his father had with the Chargers.
