The meaningful reason Travis Kelce wears a No. 87 jersey
CBSN
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is on his way to his fourth Super Bowl with the team after a season punctuated by success. Kelce started dating Taylor Swift, and sales of his No. 87 jersey soared roughly 400% after she attended a game. The number on that wildly popular jersey was chosen by Kelce for a meaningful reason.
In 2023, when both Kelce and his older brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, made it to the Super Bowl, they sat down with NFL Films for an interview and talked about playing in the big game against each other.
"If there is a Kelce legacy – two brothers making it to the NFL – it started in 1987, because this big guy was born in 1987," Travis said about Jason, who quipped that he can't wear '89, Travis' birth year. Jason wears No. 62.
