Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has expressed his admiration for superstar tight end Travis Kelce’s impressive offseason training efforts. During a recent media availability on July 24, Reid noted that Kelce, who is 35, appears to be in outstanding shape, saying he looks “like he’s 20.”
Reid highlighted Kelce’s commitment to fitness, stating, “He’s svelte right now…You can see he’s been working out.” He mentioned that while Kelce didn’t come in first during a team conditioning drill, he was still among the top performers. Reid praised his burst during run drills and remarked on the hard work Kelce has put in to achieve his current form.
Earlier in May, Kelce revealed that he had lost 25 pounds during the offseason, crediting his rigorous training regimen, which included time spent in Florida with girlfriend Taylor Swift. This comes after a challenging end to the previous season, where the Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
As the new NFL season approaches, Kelce confirmed his intention to return to the team but remains non-committal about his future beyond this contract year. He stated, “I don’t know what next year’s going to feel like,” indicating he will reassess his situation as the season progresses.
On the same day Reid praised him, Kelce took to Instagram to share photos with Swift, marking a public acknowledgment of their relationship. The couple’s offseason activities included trips and social outings, showcasing a blend of both personal and professional rejuvenation for Kelce ahead of the upcoming season.
These developments highlight not just Kelce’s athletic dedication but also a balanced life off the field, signaling a positive outlook as he prepares to take on another season with the Chiefs.
