Travis Kelce has been one of the NFL‘s best since he entered the league in 2013.The former Cincinnati Bearcats star has totaled 1,004 catches for 12,151 yards and 77 touchdowns, making 10 consecutive Pro Bowls and seven All-Pro teams along the way. Kelce has also helped bring the Kansas City Chiefs three Super Bowl wins in four appearances.Now, the Chiefs are eyeing something no other NFL has ever done, as a three-peat looms in Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles. This will be a rematch of the championship game from just two seasons ago when Kansas City won 38-35.
Last season, the Chiefs defeated Fred Warner and the San Francisco 49ers for the first back-to-back Super Bowl wins since Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the early 2000s.
Ahead of the big game, Warner made an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” to discuss Kelce and the Chiefs. With retirement rumors about Kelce, 35, spreading all over, Warner gave his take on the potential career decision.
“Hopefully, it’s his last season,” Warner said. “He retires, goes off into the sunset, and we ain’t got to deal with him no more.”
Although the question remains if Kelce will retire or not, the tight end has desires to stay in the NFL. Earlier this week, when asked what his plans were in three years, Kelce revealed his hope to still be playing football.
“Hopefully, still playing football,” Kelce said. “I love doing this. I love coming into work every day. I feel like I still have a lot of good football left in me. We’ll see what happens. I know I’ve been setting myself up for other opportunities in my life. That’s always been the goal, knowing football only lasts for so long. You have to find a way to get into another career and another profession. I’ve been doing that in my offseason. But for the most part, I plan on being a Kansas City Chief and playing football.”

Warner has been a stud since joining the league, becoming one of the NFL’s best linebackers. He has made four first-team All-Pros, including one in each of the previous three seasons. He has also been the leader of one of the top defenses of the 2020s.
