Travis Kelce, alongside Patrick Mahomes, is undoubtedly one of the most high-profile players in the NFL. This status is not only due to his relationship with Taylor Swift but also because of his exceptional performanceon the field. Kelce has earned three Super Bowl titles and set numerous NFL records, such as Career Postseason Receptions (165),Receiving Yards in a Season by a Tight End (1,416), and Games with 100+ Receiving Yards in the Playoffs (8), among many others.
Travis is Ready for Year 12
Drafted in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Kelce, like Mahomes, spent his first year as a backup before becoming a starter in 2014. Reflecting on his first training camp, which was undoubtedly the most challenging, Kelce now, entering his twelfth season and the most important one, because for every professional the most important is the current one, feels more at home than ever at 4525 Downs Dr, St. Joseph, where the training camp is held. “Yes, this is my sanctuary, baby. There’s something about this place that gets you ready every single year, and I’m not gonna lie,” Kelce said during today’s press conference.
Travis Kelce loves the Chiefs
At 34 years old, Kelce has spent over a third of his life training with the Chiefs. He also mentioned, “Everybody may see that it’s pretty grueling, but I enjoy it, man.” Clearly, his enjoyment is reflected in the team’s outstanding results. “I got pretty excited as the time started counting down to get out here and get this thing rolling,” he added. The excitement to attempt a historic three-peat is palpable within the team.
Quest for the Three-Peat
The Kansas City Chiefs kick off the season against the Baltimore Ravens on September 5th. This game is a rematch of the last AFC Championship Game, where, despite the Ravens’ dominance, the Chiefs and their defense emerged victorious. This season could be epic for the Chiefs and their legacy as a dynasty that began with Mahomes as the starter. They now become the eighth franchise in history with a chance at a three-peat, but will they be the first to achieve it?
