Travis Kelce: “I’m still a little kid when I come into this building.” Says he has a love for this, even in the middle of the beat June. As for the ‘mileage’ on his body he says “Wear and tear me Baby!” #Chiefs
Kelce turns 35 in October, but said he isn’t planning for retirement just yet.
“I really can’t put a timeframe on (retirement). ” he said. “I love coming to work every single day. Obviously, I know there’s opportunities outside of football for me. You have to keep in perspective that I’m still a little kid when I come into this building, man. I know I’m 34 years old, but I have a love to do this right here, in the middle of the heat in June. I love coming to work every single day.”
Kelce helped lead the Chiefs to their second consecutive Super Bowl victory last season while leading the team with 93 receptions for 984 yards during the regular season. During the Chiefs’ four-game postseason run, Kelce elevated his performance, generating 32 receptions for 355 yards and three touchdowns.
He is a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs, a nine-time Pro Bowler and a four-time first-team All-Pro player.
Before Super Bowl LVIII in early February, Kelce reiterated he wasn’t planning to retire, especially with quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the prime of his career.
Kelce also became a household name last season thanks in part to his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift and the podcast, “New Heights,” that he hosts with his brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.
In addition to his celebrity status, Kelce has been one of the NFL’s most productive tight ends. His 907 career receptions and 11,328 career receiving yards rank fourth all time among tight ends.
