Travis Kelce is seeing a ton of support pour in for him on Monday Morning after some of his personal news went viral. The all-time great tight end decided to come back for his age 36 season after Kansas City suffered a brutal loss in Super Bowl 59.
However, it was some big time personal news that caught fans attention as the wee started.
Travis Kelce Sees Personal News Go Viral With Thousands Of Reactions (Report)
Travis Kelce has been the subject of many congratulations on Monday morning:
The 35-year-old NFL tight end was considering retirement following the 2024 season. However, he decided to return for at least one more season. Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl-winning tight end, will look to rebound from a Super Bowl 59 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
“I think the biggest thing is that I f—— love playing the game of football,” he said of his decision to return. “I love playing. I still feel like I can play it at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year. I don’t think it was my best outing. I think I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them, especially if you look at my track record and how I’ve been in years past. I want to give it a good run. I got a bad taste in my mouth in how I ended last year and how well I was playing and how accountable I was to the people around me.
“I love so many people in Kansas City, both in that facility, in the community, and it’s home for me now. I don’t want to leave that life yet. I put in a lot of hard work and I put in a lot of focus into being the best that I can for K.C. Last year it didn’t end well for us. I just feel like there’s a responsibility in me to play out the contract that I initially signed, to give Kansas City and the Chiefs organization everything that I’ve got, and that’s what I’m going to do, man.”
Kelce, meanwhile, has made some big moves this offseason. He’s apparently lost 25 pounds.
That’s something worth celebrating. Anyone over the age of 30 knows how hard it is to shed weight. It just gets harder and harder to get back into the kind of shape that you want to be in the older you get.
But Kelce has done it – and that’s worth congratulating.
“Kelce revenge tour is gonna be as epic as Mahomes scorched earth tour,” one fan wrote.
“That’s good. His face did look puffy at the end of the season. He carries his diet sins in his face. I know because it’s what happens to me too. HAHAHA! Too much of the good life does soften a brother up. I don’t fault him. Good for him,” one fan added.
