Travis Michael Kelce is an American football tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft and later won Super Bowl LIV with the team over the San Francisco 49ers. He played college football at the University of Cincinnati.
Kelce was born on October 5, 1989, in Westlake, Ohio, the son of Ed Kelce and younger brother to fellow NFL player Jason Kelce, who is a center for the Philadelphia Eagles.
He attended Cleveland Heights High School in his hometown of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, where he was a three-sport athlete in football, basketball, and baseball.
The Chiefs had hired Andy Reid as their new head coach during the off-season. Reid was familiar with Kelce after he had drafted and coached his brother, Jason Kelce, during his time as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kelce began the 2015 season with his first NFL multiple-touchdown game, with six receptions for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the 27–20 victory over the Houston Texans.
Following the release of longtime Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher and the retirement of longtime fullback Anthony Sherman in the offseason, Kelce became the longest-tenured member of the Chiefs.
