Travis Kelce’s Message to Chiefs Coach Draws Strong Response originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Kansas City Chiefs may have suffered a Super Bowl loss last season, but for much of the past 10 years, KC has been the epitome of success in the NFL.
Kansas City is led by some of the biggest stars in the game, such as quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce.
The Chiefs also have incredible personnel backing them, including head coach Andy Reid and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
Kelce, who is working through the offseason and preparing for his 13th season in the NFL, recently hosted Spagnuolo on his “New Heights” podcast alongside his brother, Jason Kelce.
While the three were discussing old stories and thoughts on their time in the NFL, Spagnuolo and Travis Kelce exchanged some kind words.
“I’m not saying this because you’re sitting here, Trav,” Spagnuolo said. “But, you’re one of the purest, down-to-earth megastars that anybody could ever meet.”
Travis Kelce then responded with a message to Spagnuolo, sharing high praise for the Kansas City coach.
“You’re the best,” Travis Kelce said. “That means the most coming from you, coach.”
The conversation between Spagnuolo and Travis Kelce then prompted a strong response from the Chiefs.
“Never change Trav,” posted the official social media account of the Kansas City Chiefs with a red heart emoji.
