Sports radio host Mike Francesa has questioned how dedicated\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/span>\u00a0is to football while he’s ‘prancing around the globe’ with girlfriend\u00a0Taylor Swift<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Kelce’s future in the NFL is under the spotlight following his latest below-par display for the\u00a0Kansas<\/span>\u00a0City Chiefs in their win at the\u00a0Atlanta Falcons<\/span>\u00a0on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

After\u00a0Swift missed one of his games for the first time this season<\/span>, the Chiefs tight end failed to make an impact on proceedings once again, registering just four catches for 30 yards at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.<\/p>\n

NFL analysts and fans are adamant that he is now hurtling towards retirement<\/span>\u00a0at the age of 34, including\u00a0Francesa.<\/p>\n

During the latest instalment of his\u00a0‘Mike Francesa Podcast’, the American radio figure doubted Kelce’s dedication to football amid his romance with Swift, describing his life dating the popstar as one big ‘photo op’.<\/p>\n

\"Travis<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Travis Kelce’s dedication to football has been questioned amid his romance with Taylor Swift<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘As an organization and as a coach, you would have to question how dedicated Kelce is to the sport right now,’ Francesa said. ‘He has a lot going on in his life. His life has taken a radical change.<\/p>\n

‘You see him in commercials, you see him in photo ops, you see him now very conscious of how he\u2019s dressed\u2026 and where the paparazzi are and everything else.<\/p>\n

‘It changed his life. And you wonder, where does football and where does football preparation enter into that?’<\/p>\n

He later added: ‘Clearly at this stage of his career, you wonder where he is in his dedication, in his preparation, because his performance has fallen off dramatically. And it\u2019s not just, “oh the Chiefs are going away from Kelce.” It\u2019s more than that.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s extremely human. His life has changed. He\u2019s now prancing around the globe with one of the most famous people in the world. His life is a photo op.’<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Kelce was\u00a0caught by TV cameras looking particularly miserable<\/span>\u00a0during the Chiefs’ win over the Falcons on Sunday night in a clip which went viral.<\/p>\n

In three games this season, he has just eight catches for a total of 69 yards and zero touchdowns, going down as one of his worst ever starts to an NFL season.<\/p>\n

Kelce’s future in the NFL is under the spotlight following his below-par start to the season<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\"Many<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Many have questioned whether his dip in form this season is linked to girlfriend Swift<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\"Sports<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sports radio host Mike Francesa believes Kelce may have lost his dedication to the sport<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After his first three games in 2023, Kelce had recorded\u00a017 receptions for 152 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

NBC’s lead analyst Cris Collinsworth admitted he was ‘flabbergasted’ by his latest absent performance on Sunday night, having also watched him struggle in week one against the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n

Collinsworth said on commentary: ‘I’m just flabbergasted. I mean, one game, big deal. Two games, alright.<\/p>\n

‘This is the third game now where we have not seen the magic of (Patrick) Mahomes and Kelce, and I can’t really explain that one.’<\/p>\n

Rodney Harrison, another NBC analyst,\u00a0blamed Kelce’s latest lackluster performance on his other commitments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He said: ‘He’s busy. He’s got a lot on his plate. You think about it. He’s doing a lot of different things. Media-wise, he’s playing football, he’s got other things going on.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"The<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 34-year-old was seen looking miserable as his struggles continued on Sunday night<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘When you’re in that situation you’ve got to forget about everything else and focus 100 per cent on football. That’s the main responsibility.<\/p>\n

‘Guys are making plays on him. Jesse Bates did a heck of a job on him tonight.<\/p>\n

‘He (Kelce) just doesn’t have the same speed. He’s a good player still but I don’t believe he’s a great, great player.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
