Travis Kelce: I've still got a lot to prove in the NFL
Travis Kelce has explained why he choose to continue his playing career with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Travis Kelce has got "a lot more to prove" in the NFL.
The 35-year-old sports star briefly contemplated retirement after losing the Super Bowl earlier this year, but Travis is now preparing for the new NFL season and he still feels like he's got a point to prove.
The Kansas City Chiefs star - who is dating Taylor Swift - told reporters: "It wasn't a very tough [decision] for me.
"I know I'm getting older, but at the same time I still feel like I got a lot that I can prove in this league. It really wasn't that hard of a decision for me."
Travis felt hurt after losing the Super Bowl earlier this year, but his passion for the sport remains as strong as ever.
He said: "I love football. I don't think I really thought about it that much. My friends and family and the team and the guys and women in this building, I love coming into work every single day."
Despite this, Travis took his time before deciding to commit himself to another season with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The sports star said: "You want to let the emotions die down [after the end of the season].
"That was the biggest thing — you don't want to make decisions off initial emotions. But for the most part, once they died down, I still felt like I had that fire in my chest to be able to keep coming in and building and be better and chase another Super Bowl."
Meanwhile, Travis previously admitted to feeling inspired during Taylor's Eras Tour.
The NFL star confessed to being wowed by his 35-year-old girlfriend during her record-breaking tour in 2024.
Speaking prior to the Super Bowl, Travis shared: "What I saw on that tour last year was pretty remarkable.
"To see the week-in, week-out travelling from one country to the next and how excruciating it is on her body and on her mind - and it’s not just her. It was her entire tour. It was an absolute machine and it was something I could admire watching."
