Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce had a disappointing performance at Super Bowl LIX. The 10x Pro Bowler could only muster four catches for 39 receiving yards while the team succumbed to a 40-22 blowout defeat.
After the end of the 2024 season, the rumor mill started churning about the tight end potentially hanging up his cleats. However, he is making a return for his 13th season in the league this year.
During an interview on Wednesday, Travis Kelce opened up about his thoughts on the disappointing Super Bowl LIX performance. Kelce’s moved on from that wreckage and is now looking to make an impact this upcoming season with a completely different mindset.

“I’ve thrown that thing in the trash,” Kelce said as per ESPN. “I’ve moved on. It happened sooner than you can imagine. I was pretty focused on this year in the offseason.”

Travis Kelce also talked about his preparations as the team continues its offseason training camp. He explained that despite the harsh challenges during practice, he is trying to enjoy every moment.
“You’ve got to go through the dog days and enjoy it for what it is man,” Kelce added. “We’re rocking and rolling, man. It’s training camp, so you’re going to feel the soreness and the heavy workload you’re getting every day. You’ve got to enjoy it for what it is and fight through that.”
Since becoming a part of the Chiefs in 2013, Travis Kelce has won three Super Bowls with the team. In April 2024, he signed a two-year extension worth $34.25 million. He ended the season while recording 823 yards and three TDs receiving.
