The Chiefs maintain an undefeated streak at 3-0, but the team won’t feel fully established until standout tight end Travis Kelce makes an impact. As the NFL‘s highest-paid tight end, Kelce has experienced a challenging season start with merely 69 receiving yards and no touchdowns so far, inviting some unexpected critique along with Patrick Mahomes‘ powerful throws.
The atmosphere within the Chiefs remains composed about Kelce’s slower-than-anticipated performance, recognizing there are still 14 games ahead. They trust that this future Pro Football Hall of Fame player will soon shine. Additionally, he has the support of a globally recognized partner as he navigates these early challenges.
Kelce’s new pregame ritual
Previously, Kelce mentioned that his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, has been assisting the Chiefs with their offensive strategies. Additionally, the Grammy-winning artist has found another way to contribute that perfectly suits her expertise.
To reflect Swift’s creative flair, Kelce is joining a trend initiated by his friend Harry Clark. This season, Kelce and several teammates are “coordinating” their game-day footwear, opting for vintage Nike Air Jordan shoes in chronological order while ensuring they showcase the Chiefs’ red-and-white colors. The Air Jordan 3s Kelce wore during the game in Atlanta have been recognized to fetch as much as $15,000 at auctions.
During the most recent episode of the “New Heights” podcast, Kelce hinted at wearing Air Jordan 4s for the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers, which is crucial for division standings. This match poses a chance for Kelce to break free from his slump as the Chiefs aim for their first 4-0 start since 2020. Regardless of the game’s outcome, Kelce plans to arrive at SoFi Stadium looking sharp.
“Man, I wish I played as good as I felt,” Kelce expressed on the podcast.
