Travis Kelce is immensely entertaining on the field, and from what we've seen, that trait carries over even when he's not on the gridiron.
Whether it's making amazing Super Bowl parade speeches — albeit ones that still don't quite stand up to his brother's — hopping on podcasts and broadcasts as a special guest, or going absolutely ballistic as co-head of "Tight End University," he's got what it takes to capture an audience's attention.
It's nice to hear, then, that Kelce is already considering how he can best entertain us once his football days eventually and inevitably come to an end, although that doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon. After all, the No. 5 player on NFL's 2021 Top 100 list is in the top ten in receptions (20), receiving yards (289) and receiving touchdowns (3) to kick off his age-31/32 campaign, and he's showing no signs of slowing down. But for when that time does come, Kelce told Rob Maaddi that he's got some ideas brewing on the "AP Pro Football Podcast" from The Associated Press.

"I've thought about broadcasting. Maybe not anymore reality TV, I might step away from that forever," Kelce said with a laugh. "But everything is kind of pointing toward getting in the booth and having some fun. I know I had a blast with Eli Manning and Peyton on the Monday night deal.
"Doing something like that every single week... I mean, how could you not have fun doing that?"
That's awesome to hear. One thing he'll have to brush up on — which he have the utmost confidence will happen — is making sure he keeps it PG while letting his mind roam and sharing his thoughts with the world.
Other than that, he seems like he'll be a perfect addition to any broadcast. And though Chiefs fans are praying that this move doesn't come for quite some time, they'll also be happy to know that he wants to stick with us after his time on the field has run out.
