NEW ORLEANS — Travis Kelce seems like he’s not planning on leaving soccer anytime quickly.
The 35-year-old Chiefs tight finish had a down yr for him with solely three receiving touchdowns within the common season however he’s again within the Tremendous Bowl for the third straight yr and fifth time in six years. At Tremendous Bowl Opening Evening, Kelce was requested the place he sees himself in three years.
“Where will I be in three years? I don’t know. Hopefully, still playing football,” Kelce mentioned. “I love doing this. I love coming into work every day. I feel like I’ve still got a lot of good football left in me. We’ll see what happens. I know I’ve been setting myself up for other opportunities in my life. That’s always been the goal, knowing that football only lasts so long. You’ve got to find a way to get into another career and another profession. I’ve been doing that in my offseasons. But for the most part I plan on being a Kansas City Chief and playing football.”
Kelce could have loads of alternatives in his post-playing profession within the media. He and his brother Jason have a profitable podcast and Travis’ profile has risen over the past 18 months that he has been courting pop star Taylor Swift.
That’s the reason he drew a big crowd once more Monday night time. He received questions on who would win a thumb wrestling match in opposition to his brother and his favourite Mexican meals and, after all, loads of questions on Swift.
His favourite meal of hers?
“She is quite the cook. I would say I’m a breakfast guy, man,” Kelce mentioned. “Her Pop Tarts are unbelievable. Homemade Pop Tarts, unbelievable.”
Swift grew up in Pennsylvania, however Kelce mentioned he doesn’t consider she was ever an Eagles fan and he is aware of who she’ll be rooting for on Sunday.
“I don’t know her to have the fandom. I know her father has the Philadelphia fandom as an Eagles fan,” Kelce mentioned. “She’ll be all for the Chiefs this time around.”
Who’s her dad rooting for?
“I’ll have to ask Scott himself,” Kelce mentioned. “We haven’t had that convo yet but I think he’ll be wearing red.”
Kelce has been on the Tremendous Bowl sufficient occasions now that he is aware of what to anticipate and he appeared to take pleasure in himself Monday night time in entrance of the cameras and microphones.
“My first Super Bowl, I got caught into the hype,” Kelce mentioned. “It’s easy to get caught into the hype with all the lights. It’s the biggest game of your life. The entire world is watching. … The biggest lesson I’ve learned is don’t let the hype get to you.”
