“Time flies,” Kelce said on the latest episode of his “New Heights” podcast
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end talked about his thoughts about starting a new season in the league on the most recent episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast.
“Man, time flies,” the 34-year-old football star said. “I mean, reading 12 seasons, I feel old as f—. But today in practice I felt like I was flying.”
According to his older brother, Travis is aging well despite the contradiction.
“Your mustache makes it look older too,” Jason, 36, said. “There’s something about a mustache that makes you look seasoned. In a good way, though. Like, it makes you look, like, powerful.”
Travis is relishing the chance to win a third straight Super Bowl, which might set a record, as he starts a new season with the Chiefs.
“I think the excitement of the challenge of this year, being able to maybe do it a third time in a row, I think that alone was all I needed,” he said on the Rich Eisen Show on Tuesday, Sept. 3, in reference to whether he thought about retiring last year. “That was an instant thought, so there was really not a chance in hell that I wasn’t coming back this year.”
Six months after announcing his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons, Jason is embarking on a new career as a broadcaster on Monday Night Countdown, while the Chiefs open the season at home against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, September 5.
The former Philadelphia Eagles center stated in a June interview with PEOPLE that he was excited to watch games as a fan when he wasn’t in the studio working as an analyst.
“I’ve played in the NFL for a very long time,” he told PEOPLE at the time. “I have not been able to experience it as a fan for the most part. So obviously I’ll be working Monday nights, but that means Sundays are open, Thursdays are open. So I got some time to potentially take in the actual game-day atmosphere from a different lens now that the playing days are behind.”
