Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has been with Travis Kelce since the tight entered the league in 2013, and the two are still riding together into the 2025 season. After mulling over retirement this past offseason, Kelce opted to return for another year and has impressed his head coach with training camp opening up this week.
When meeting with the media on Thursday, Reid spoke about the physical look and play of Kelce, saying that the soon-to-be 36-year old tight end looks like a fresh younger version of himself.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid on TE Travis Kelce: "He's svelte right now. He looks like he's 20. He's doing a great job. He's in great shape. You can see he's been working out. You saw him yesterday on the long run where he had the burst. He's worked hard to get to this spot."

Kelce, who will also be starring in 'Happy Gilmore 2', which releases on July 25, on Netflix, is coming into the most pivotal season of his lustrous career.
The future Hall Of Fame tight end has been the heartbeat of the Chiefs offense alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and if he's looking like a younger version of himself, that means there's plenty left in the tank.
