“I have no reason to stop playing football,” he said. “I love it… I have no desire to stop anytime soon.”

Travis, who dates pop superstar Taylor Swift, has had a storied NFL career with three Super Bowl victories, nine Pro Bowl selections, and four All-Pros. For 2024, Kelce and the Chiefs are looking to become the first team in NFL history to three-peat as Super Bowl champions.
