Travis Kelce will never have to work a day in his life after retiring from football if he so chooses. However, should Taylor Swift’s boyfriend get bored after hanging up his cleats, he apparently has a bright future as a motivational speaker.
The 34-year-old reportedly brought his Kansas City Chiefs teammates to tears prior to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. According to Albert Breer, Kelce gave a speech on Saturday night that was “unbelievable” and “powerful.”
Andy Reid asked Chris Jones, Patrick Mahomes and Kelce address the team on game day eve. All three players are considered to be the vocal leaders within the organization. The former on defense. The latter two on offense.
They are all set to play in their fourth Super Bowl in five years on Sunday. They have all spent their entire careers with Kansas City. Kelce was drafted in 2013. Jones was drafted in 2016. Mahomes was drafted in 2017.
The Super Bowl, as big as it is, is nothing new to the star veterans. The Chiefs even have a “Super Bowl week routine,” which is the ultimate flex. That’s how many times they have been there recently!
Travis Kelce stepped up.
As Reid looked around the room prior to his fifth-career Super Bowl appearance, he called upon his leaders to step to the front of the room and say a few words. Mahomes and Jones were great.
Kelce reportedly took things to the next level. His speech literally made some of his teammates cry!
It is rare that NFL players are moved to tears. Especially on the night before the biggest game of the year— if not their lives. Kelce did it.
All kinds of chatter loomed over the superstar tight end throughout the entire season. Plenty of people hate him. Headlines have followed his every move.
In that moment, none of that outside noise matter. Travis Kelce apparently delivered a speech for the ages!
