A week ago, reserve defensive lineman BJ Thompson of the Kansas City Chiefs was living the high life as the Super Bowl champs visited the White House.
On Thursday, he was fortunate to be alive.
Thompson “had a seizure in a special teams meeting and went into cardiac arrest,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero posted on social media platform X.
“The #Chiefs canceled all team activities today after a backup defensive lineman had a seizure in a special teams meeting and went into cardiac arrest, per sources,” he posted.
“The team’s medical staff worked quickly, an ambulance was called and the player is currently in stable condition,” the post said.

Thompson had clearly enjoyed his trip to the White House with the team last week, posting an image of himself sprawled on a White House couch.
“Posted at the White House got me feeling like the president,” he posted on Instagram last week.
After being drafted by the Chiefs, the Arkansas native said, “I just want to put on for my town and show them that anything is possible, no matter where you come from. Hopefully I am accomplishing that,” according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
‘Me and my friends, we all had dreams and goals of NFL, NBA but along the lines, dreams kind of die off and people get other plans,” he said.
