Chiefs' James Winchester backs Donald Trump on the field at Arrowhead Stadium after beating Bucs

Donald Trump is rapidly consolidating support within the Kansas City Chiefs' special teams unit.

Following kicker Harrison Butker's decision to come out in support of the Republican Presidential nominee, his long snapper, James Winchester, did the same at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night.

Winchester was seen donning a MAGA hat in support of Trump while strolling the field in Kansas City after the Chiefs pulled out a dramatic 30-24 overtime win against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers ,

The married father of three is an avid hunter, fisherman and member of Oklahoma 's Choctaw Nation, but wasn't previously known for being outspoken, politically.

However, the Chiefs players have been encouraged by owner Clark Hunt to voice their beliefs.

'Obviously we have players on both sides of the political spectrum, on both sides of whichever controversial issue you want to bring up,' the Chiefs' owner said last month, as quoted by the Kansas City Star. 'I'm not at all concerned when our players use their platform to try and make a difference for what they believe in.'

No member of the two-time defending Super Bowl champions has exercised that right more than kicker Harrison Butker. He sparked outrage by giving a polarizing commencement speech at Benedictine College back in May and has since thrown his support behind Donald Trump .

'I'm supporting the president that's going to be the most pro-life president,' he said last week while at a campaign event in Missouri for US Senator Josh Hawley , who is up against Democrat Lucas Kunce. 'The topic is the most crucial topic for me. I want us to be fighting for the most vulnerable, fighting for the unborn, and that's what we should prioritize.'

Butker has recently launched his own political action committee focused on encouraging Christians to vote.

'We're seeing our values under attack every day,' reads the PAC website. 'In our schools, in the media, and even from our own government. But we have a chance to fight back and reclaim the traditional values that have made this country great. That's why UPRIGHT PAC was founded.'

Butker first made what he called a 'very intentional' foray into politics in May, when he delivered a polarizing commencement address at Benedictine College, a private Catholic liberal arts school in Atchison, Kansas.

The three-time Super Bowl champion said, among other things, that most of the women receiving degrees were probably more excited about getting married and having children, and that some Catholic leaders were 'pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America.'

Butker also assailed Pride month and President Joe Biden's stance on abortion.
