In an interview clip shared by CBS Mornings on Friday, the 28-year-old quarterback shared his thoughts on his teammate's high-profile romance with the 34-year-old pop star.

"At first, I feel like everybody kind of stayed away, let [Travis] do what he was doing," Patrick said.

"Then he started bringing Taylor around, and he realized how cool of a person she is, so for us, there were a couple of jokes here and there at the beginning, and now she's just part of Chiefs Kingdom, and she's part of the team."

"It's been cool to interact with, because she's top-tier at her profession, and see how she drives and becomes that is really cool to hear about and see."
