He was undrafted out of Valdosta State, is a 28-year-old tight end and has 14 career receptions — as many as Travis Kelce once caught in a playoff game.

But Jody Fortson is confident he has plenty to offer the Dolphins as he arrives as a free agent from the Kansas City Chiefs, winners of the past two Super Bowls.

“I just think it brings a winner’s attitude, a winner’s mindset,” Fortson said Friday. “Everybody here knows I’ve been with the Chiefs my entire career. We’ve won there. I might not have had the role that I like, but I know what it takes to win.”

Fortson scored four touchdowns on his 14 receptions, which helped him develop a bit of a following among Chiefs fans who wished he had a bigger role. The experience allowed him to observe how three future Hall of Famers — coach Andy Reid, receiver Tyreek Hill and tight end Kelce — act as professionals while managing to have fun doing it.

“You know, Tyreek is a goofball all the time,” Fortson said. “But that’s also another intelligent player.”

Fortson, of course, is following the same career path as Hill, transitioning from Kansas City to Miami. Hill tipped him off on what to expect.

“He was like, ‘You’re coming into a situation where you get to be you. Let your personality ooze out. Just let that happen and everything would be fine,’” Fortson said.

The atmosphere might not be much different from what he’s used to in K.C.

“First of all, everything about coach Reid is impressive,” he said. “You know, that’s just a football genius, especially on the offensive side of the ball. That’s a guy that I could literally remember him telling the story about him taking plays from people just around the building, a janitor. He uses plays from everything, from everybody. So anybody that has that perspective that, ‘You know what, just because you sit back there and you're picking up trash doesn't mean that you don't know what's going on up here. I mean, let me see what you’ve got to say.’ Anybody that has that their intellect to tap into that, they know what's going on in his game.”

Fortson could take his game only so far with the Chiefs. The big dog at tight end is Kelce. Still, Fortson had high praise when describing how Kelce helped his career.

“Travis Kelce is my favorite teammate of all time on any level — Pop Warner, high school, college,” he said. “Not only because he took his time trying to like teach me the role of being a tight end but just because of how great a person he is.

“ … Being in a room with Kelce, it probably — not probably, it definitely set me forward light-years of where I would have been had I not had arguably the greatest of all time in that room.”

As for what Fortson learned from Reid, Kelce and Hill on what it takes in the NFL?

“What I inherited from my time for being with Kansas City is the discipline to win, the seriousness behind it of what it takes. You’re just not going to wake up one day and just be a winner. You’ve got to do it. You’ve got to constantly chip at it every single day.”
