Travis Kelce isn’t on the verge of retirement, but the Kansas City Chiefs star admits he has more professional options following his appearance on Saturday Night Live last March.
Kelce was asked about his future plans on Thursday ahead of Saturday’s playoff game against the visiting Miami Dolphins at Arrowhead Stadium, where temperatures are expected to fall below zero.
‘I have no reason to stop playing football,’ Kelce told reporters Thursday. ‘I love it, we still have success, come in with the right mindset.’
When asked what he’d do if he weren’t playing football, Kelce explained he does have an off-season to pursue those interests.
‘That’s the point of the off-season,’ Kelce said. ‘Being able to get out there and really finding what you love to do. I’ve been fortunate to do a few things outside of the sports world that I’ve been enjoying doing, like getting on camera. The SNL stuff kind of opened up a new happiness and new career path for me.
