Travis Kelce has three rings from the Super Bowl. He is a first Ballot, obvious, Deion Sanders, the temple of the reputation of the upper chamber. Kelce has accomplished everything he could have hoped for as a football player.
And it seems to know it. It also seems that he is ready to move on.
Would that have been a much more perfect end to top a historic quarter before going to sunset with a fourth Lombardi trophy under his arm? Absolutely. All well considered, it is already damn perfect for a choice of third round which was suspended once for an entire season at the University of Cincinnati for (prohibited God) of smoking marijuana.
Beyond becoming one of the best tight ends in the history of the NFL, with a regular number of season of 1,004 receptions for 12,150 yards and 79 affected in total, it has already established a media empire, of the podcast New figures to act in production to organize a game program. He rolled the dice SnlAnd he nailed her.
At 35, it is far beyond the normal shelf life of its position. Since 2018, he has played 19 additional games. Over the past three years, the Chiefs have played a total of 58 games.
The seasons are long. The walks are short. It is a massive physical and mental commitment. The decline arrives, if he has not already started.
Lawrence Taylor realized that young players around him seemed faster than ever. Bill Parcels told Taylor that it was because he finally became slower.
It happens. It’s normal. For Kelce, performance and longevity are abnormal. And extraordinary.
No great player wants to hang around for the decline. No one wants the last chapter the rest of the book.
Chuck Noll has referred to the career after a player’s football like his “life work”. Kelce has already embarked on something special for the work of her own life, while grinding as a player.
For the moment, it seems to be reconciled. That he gives himself a little time to ensure that his instincts are correct. That he deals with reality that, once the helmet is turned off, he never comes back – except and until he plays a football player in a big budget film.
Anyway, he seems to rely against giving him another blow. Each player who wins the ability to go to his own terms (and there are not many who do it) always wonders if he could have eliminated another season from his skills given by God. No player wants to discover the hard way he couldn’t.
Kelce’s comments from New summits The podcast creates the impression that it reconciles with its intestine that it is time. Over time, it will be a surprise if it does something other than closing the back cover of the game, while opening the door to everything waiting.
