As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for their first game of the NFL playoffs, star tight end Travis Kelce says he has the energy of a young man, not a grizzled veteran. . Specifically, he said he feels he has reached a certain age.
twenty two.
Appearing on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday, the 35-year-old Kelce was asked about his mindset heading into the postseason after his 12th season as a pro. He didn’t miss a beat, referencing the lyric “I don’t know about you, but I feel like 22” from his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s song “22” from her hit 2012 album Red.
The album (and songs) were re-recorded and re-released in 2021 as Red (Taylor’s Version).
On the field, Kelce certainly looked like he was getting into great shape for the playoffs in his last appearance with the Chiefs. In Kansas City’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, Kelce caught eight passes for 84 yards, including his third 12-yard touchdown of the season.
The top-seeded Chiefs will look to win their third straight Vince Lombardi Trophy next Saturday when they face the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium.
