To the point where some armchair experts may believe that Kelce&#8217;s slow start to the 2024 NFL season might have something to do with Swift and their relationship being a distraction. But those in and around the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs&#8217; facility\u00a0don&#8217;t believe that to be the case, according to reporting from Dianna Russini of The Athletic during her appearance on The Dan Le Batard Show.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full\">\n<div class=\"not-prose flex aspect-video w-full items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI remember opening week, they were playing on that Thursday night game,\u201d Russini recounted. \u201cI was talking to somebody in that building. It was that Tuesday night. So that\u2019s like a typical, you know, tough practice for the Chiefs when they\u2019re playing on a Thursday night when they\u2019re playing to open up the week. And this person I was on the phone with was leaving the facility, and it was pretty late. Travis Kelce was there working with bands, just doing extra workouts the week of a game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know you hear these stories all the time \u2018first one in, last one out.&#8217; But there\u2019s something to that, when you\u2019re that good of a player. You\u2019ve won as much as he has. He\u2019s on top of the world. If I\u2019m him I\u2019m going home and FaceTiming with my amazing girlfriend. I\u2019m not sitting there working on my bands, but he was doing that.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cSo look, it\u2019s just a long way of me saying. I think from the outside, it seems he\u2019s really busy doing other things, but the people there tell me he\u2019s all in on football. Like they don\u2019t have these kinds of concerns with his schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The optics of Travis Kelce\u2019s off-the-field life is that he\u2019s running around the world following Taylor Swift at her concerts, and now he\u2019s in movies like\u00a0Adam Sandler\u2019s Happy Gilmore 2\u00a0and TV shows like\u00a0FX\u2019s Grotesquerie.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Chiefs are more than just Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3046703\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3046703\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3046703\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chiefs-TE-Travis-Kelce-catching-a-contested-pass.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chiefs-TE-Travis-Kelce-catching-a-contested-pass.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chiefs-TE-Travis-Kelce-catching-a-contested-pass.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chiefs-TE-Travis-Kelce-catching-a-contested-pass.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chiefs-TE-Travis-Kelce-catching-a-contested-pass.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chiefs-TE-Travis-Kelce-catching-a-contested-pass.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (87) catches a pass against Cincinnati Bengals safety Daijahn Anthony (33) during the second half at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/figure>\n<article class=\"article-body prose max-w-none pb-7 pt-5 prose-figure:max-w-full prose-ol:pl-10 prose-img:max-w-full prose-video:max-w-full md:prose-ol:pl-6 [&amp;_iframe]:m-auto [&amp;_iframe]:block [&amp;_iframe]:max-w-full\">Travis Kelce&#8217;s poor play is a more digestible narrative piece to media consumers if it&#8217;s reduced to its lowest common denominator: Taylor Swift. But Kelce was overproducing the last few years because the Chiefs lacked a running game, so he was depended upon to do more. They also didn&#8217;t have a consistent wide receiver since losing Tyreek Hill to put pressure on the outside edges of the field.Now the Chiefs have Isiah Pacheco at running back. Wide receivers Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are playing great to start the season. So even though Kelce \u201conly\u201d has eight catches for 69 yards, that&#8217;s not the problem. There is no problem, in fact because Kansas City is 3-0.<\/p>\n<p>Even though he&#8217;s 34 years old, and even if does have a bad season, that&#8217;s the nature of the game sometimes. He&#8217;s still one of the most accomplished and productive tight ends in NFL history with a Hall of Fame resume. The last thing anyone should do is worry about Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travis Kelce&#8217;s work ethic shouldn&#8217;t be doubted, even when he&#8217;s dating a music superstar.
