Gruden spent eight years with the Raiders over two spells, with his last ending in 2021.

The 60-year-old resigned after a New York Times investigation alleged he had sent “homophobic and misogynistic” emails.

“I love the Raiders and do not want to be a distraction,” Gruden said as he resigned three years ago.

“Thank you to all the players, coaches, staff, and fans of Raider Nation. I’m sorry, I never meant to hurt anyone.”

Gruden joined Chiefs head coach Andy Reid on the practice field at the Chiefs summer camp at Missouri Western State University.

Both he and Reid coached together during their days with the Green Bay Packers in the early 1990s.

And Reid revealed he invited his close friend to get his “input” ahead of the new season.

“He loves football,” Reid explained to reporters on Monday as video of Gruden’s presence went viral .

“He and I go way back – 30 years. So, we’ve known each other for a long time.

“It’s good to get him up here. He’s always got good input on things.

“Very smart, a great football coach.

“I enjoy having him around, he has great energy.”

The Chiefs are the reigning Super Bowl champions and have won back-to-back titles.

No team in the modern NFL era has won three consecutive Lombardi trophies.
