Travis Kelce says NFL career ‘slipped’ during acting pivot: ‘Haven’t been to my standard’
NY Post
Travis Kelce will be the first to admit the last two NFL seasons have not been his finest.
During a wide-ranging GQ interview about his career and relationship with Taylor Swift, the three-time Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs expressed how the “past two years haven’t been to [his] standard” as he dabbled in entertainment endeavors off the field.
“I think it might have slipped a little bit because I did have a little bit more focus in trying to set myself up. And opportunities came up where I was excited to venture into a new world of acting and being an entertainer,” Kelce, 35, said in the September issue of the publication.
“I don’t say this as ‘I shouldn’t have done it.’ I’m just saying that my work ethic is such that I have so much pride in how I do things that I never want the product to tail off, and I feel like these past two years haven’t been to my standard.”
