Travis Kelce addresses retirement rumors: Will Chiefs star give up NFL for Taylor Swift? ‘The tight end has spoken out ‘
Travis kelce has addressed rumors and speculation about his future in the NFL by insisting he has no plans to step away from football just yet.
The Kansas City Chiefs star is bidding to reach his fourth Super Bowl in five years in the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday and is back in form after some vital contributions to their victory over the Buffalo Bills.
Now into his 11th season, there had been questions as to whether the tight end still had the burning motivation to step out onto the field and if it might be time to wrap up his career.
However, in a bonus video of the ‘New Heights’ podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, who plays center for the Philadelphia Eagles, he insisted that the buzz he gets from featuring in playoff games still gets him “f***ing excited”.
“I haven’t found something outside of football that’s going to challenge me like playoff football. And I don’t know if I’ll ever find that,” Travis said.
“And that’s one of the things that’ll make me play this game until the wheels fall off. I know that I get to accept these challenges and these difficult games, these difficult matchups, the question of whether or not we’ll prevail – and coming up big for the guys next to me.
