Carson Steele has been already making headlines since his NFL drafting. The undrafted free agent was plucked by Kansas City Chiefs in their 53-man roster, and since then he has become a talk of the town. Not only for his unexpected entry into the league, but also because of his Crocky-J’s stardom. And now, as he is playing against the Falcons this Sunday, September 22, his family is excited to watch him on a very special occasion.
Carson Steele is playing the Week 3 game at Atlanta, and away from him, his family is celebrating the wedding of his 25-year-old sister, Kesslar Steele. During the matchup, the NFL broadcasted a glimpse of his family from his sister’s wedding ceremony, who are watching Carson LIVE on TV, cheering for him.
This happened a couple of weeks after Kesslar said that she was alligator sitting at the Chiefs-Ravens game. Now, let us remind you that Crocky-J isn’t a person, it’s Carson’s pet alligator. While recalling its alligator sitting incident, Carson Steele’s big sister told, “I always get that task (alligator sitting). It’s pretty easy. He’s a pretty docile alligator. I just probably don’t spend as much time with him as Carson does. But I don’t mind taking care of him.”

Crocky-J has been Carson’s friend since he was just 6 years old. It was gifted to him by a “Santa Claus” on that Christmas eve. However, later on, when his mother suspected her husband was tracking the UPS delivery driver; she understood that the Santa Claus of the day was none other than Carson’s father.
And now, just like Carson is grabbing up the headlines, the 15-year-old, 5-foot and 100-pound pet, is making his own.
Carson Steele’s pet Crock-J became a delight for the NFL fans!
When the Chiefs were playing against the Ravens on Thursday, September 5, rookie Carson Steele was displayed on national television at his debut. And at that moment, the commentator, giving fun insights about him, talked about his strange pet, Crock-J, giving the fans a glimpse of the reptile. Now this created a buzz among social media, and fans even started to request the league to show more of arguably “cute” Crocky-J, than Taylor Swift. And this incident brought excitement and surprising moments for Carson Steele himself and even his big sister, who was petting it at that time.
In addition to that, Kesslar Steele also showed her immense pride for her baby brother by saying, “I’m just so proud of him. I knew this was always his dream. People would ask him what he wanted to do when he grew up and he would say, ‘To play in the NFL.’ And they would say, ‘But what else do you want to do?’ This was always the goal he was trying to accomplish.” And as a result of Carson’s hard work, his sister got around 42 texts by that time, in which some were about Crock-J, while most of them were about Carson Steele.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs are ahead in the Week 3 game against the Falcons, with 22-17 in the final quarters.
