Former ESPN analyst Todd McShay blames Travis Kelce\u2019s slow start to the season on his newfound fame and \u201cjet-setting\u201d lifestyle.<\/p>\n

During an\u00a0appearance on \u201cThe Ryen Russillo Podcast\u201d\u00a0Monday, McShay didn\u2019t mince words while discussing Kelce\u2019s\u00a0lackluster performance in the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Atlanta Falcons, during which he recorded four receptions for just 30 yards.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery show I watch,\u00a0every pregame show, halftime show, postgame show, weekday show, every broadcast I watch for the last few weeks, it\u2019s like, are we not allowed to say that\u00a0he\u2019s out of shape?\u201d\u00a0McShay bluntly asked.<\/p>\n

McShay voiced concerns about Kelce\u2019s conditioning on \u201cThe Ryen Russillo Podcast\u201d Monday.
\n\u201cThat he\u2019s been partying all offseason? He\u2019s been jet-setting around with the most famous person probably in the entire world,\u201d the analyst added, referencing Kelce\u2019s\u00a0romance with Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n

As an example, McShay pointed to the pair\u2019s long weekend in New York City, where they\u00a0were spotted \u201cdrinking\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0having fun at the US Open\u00a0following the Chiefs\u2019\u00a0game against the Baltimore Ravens.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want you to take a picture from preseason 2022 and then take a picture preseason 2024, they\u2019re barely the same human being,\u201d the former ESPN commentator said.<\/p>\n

McShay also shot down claims that Kelce\u2019s lack of production was due to defenses double-teaming him, which he argues has been happening throughout his whole career.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s the thing, bottom line with Kelce: The coverage and the respect he gets is the same, the athlete is not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite his concerns about Kelce\u2019s conditioning, McShay noted that the three-time Super Bowl champion is bound to bounce back at some point.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, is he going to work himself into shape during the season? Yeah, I\u2019m sure he will,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s an unbelievable competitor, he\u2019s one of the best to ever do it and he still finds a way to make a play or two here and there and shows up in some clutch moments, but he\u2019s not the same guy right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\"Travis<\/a><\/div>
However, he acknowledged that the tight end, seen above in September, is still \u201cone of the best to ever do it.\u201dGetty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kelce, 34, has had eight receptions for 69 yards since the season began earlier this month. He has yet to score a touchdown.<\/p>\n

In comparison, by his third game last year, Kelce had 17 receptions for 155 yards and two touchdowns. Similarly, in 2022, the tight end also recorded 17 catches for 230 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see the same explosiveness, I see him wearing down a little bit in games, it\u2019s OK, he\u2019ll work himself back into shape, it\u2019s not the first guy ever whose not quite in the elite shape that he was,\u201d McShay said.<\/p>\n

Despite his criticisms, the sports reporter made it clear that he is \u201cnot blaming\u201d Kelce\u2019s performance on Swift.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Kelce\u2019s doing more commercials and things, he\u2019s been at more events, doing more things socially,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s impossible to carry that schedule and still put in the same amount of time for football,\u201d\u00a0he concluded.<\/p>\n

During the offseason, Kelce\u00a0traveled to seven different countries\u00a0to support the pop star on her international tour. He also\u00a0inked a six-figure podcast deal,\u00a0starred in Ryan Murphy\u2019s new series \u201cGrotesquerie\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0landed a hosting gig\u00a0on \u201cAre You Smarter Than a Celebrity?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
