Warning: Video contains coarse language

It appears the Kansas City Chiefs will be featured prominently on the fifth and final season of HBO's drama series "Ballers."

In the season premiere, which aired Sunday, Spencer Strasmore - a retired NFL player-turned-financial manager played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - purchases the Chiefs from the Hunt family.

I never want to just play in the game. I always want to change the way the game is played. Raising the bar for season 5 for our @HBO’s BALLERS. And on a personal irony note ~ it’s been quite humbling shooting these scenes amongst NFL teams because for years my #1 real life goal was to play in the NFL. I failed and that dream never came true. But over the years I realized that playing in the NFL was the best thing that NEVER HAPPENED for me because after I failed (and after a fun battle with depression 🤪) it created a relentless drive that defines who I am today. #grateful #dreamsthatdontcometrue #onward
