“Put it on!” Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce goaded the president after head coach Andy Reid and owner Clark Hunt presented the 81-year-old president with the autographed gift on the White House lawn.

Biden, who had just delivered brief remarks congratulating the team, held the helmet above his head and attempted to do exactly that — initially smacking the headgear on his aviator sunglasses, which he had to remove as the team members roared behind him.
