Despite his new venture into hosting, Kelce has not shown any interest in retiring from the NFL. While he did mention in a 2023 interview with WSJ. Magazine that he had thought about retirement due to injuries, Kelce clarified during a press conference in January 2024 that he has no plans to stop playing football anytime soon. He expressed his love for the sport and the challenges it presents him every day.
It’s worth noting that Jason Kelce, Travis’ brother, recently retired from the NFL in February 2024. The former Philadelphia Eagles player made an emotional announcement during a press conference about his decision to step down from the sport.
Overall, fans of Travis Kelce can look forward to seeing him in a new role as a game show host on “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” while he continues to excel on the football field with the Kansas City Chiefs.
