Chiefs Teammate Drops Truth Bomb on What It's Like to Play Alongside Travis Kelce

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has drawn attention for his level of play throughout his career, but recently, his off-field activities are what have people talking. From his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift to his recent appearance in the new Netflix movie "Happy Gilmore 2," Kelce appears to be a fan favorite.

Following an underwhelming 2024 season, in which he posted his lowest receiving yards total since his rookie year, Kelce vowed to return stronger than ever and regain his form, acknowledging that he let his team down the previous year.

Meanwhile, a former teammate of Kelce revealed what it's like to share a locker room with him and spoke about Kelce off the field.

On Friday, former NFL center Mitch Morse, who spent four years with Kansas City after the Chiefs selected him in the 2015 draft, had high praise for Kelce on and off the field.

"He's the greatest teammate you could want. ... If you make a big block or you're down the field, he's just as liable to hype up an offensive lineman as he is a guy in the skills position room. He has relationships with everyone in the locker room. He makes you feel like you're part of the crew. You have a bit of him," said Morse during an appearance on NFL Network. "He's just a beautiful human, and it's been fun to see in the past few years, seeing from the sidelines, him get the dues that he's owed. Of course, on the field, he's a remarkable player, but off the field, he's an exceptional person."
