VIDEO: NFL kicker Harrison Butker leads The Chop at SunTrust Park

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker led “The Chop” at the Atlanta Braves game against the San Diego Padres Saturday at SunTrust Park.

In a video posted on Twitter, the former Georgia Tech kicker thanked the Braves for the opportunity.

“Thanks to the Braves for having me as their guest yesterday,” Butker wrote. “Had a great time doing the ‘First Chop’ with Braves fans!”

Butker was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft. After being waived by the Panthers in September 2017, Butker was signed by the Chiefs and played in 13 games last season.
