Travis Kelce reveals why he passed on starring in Netflix docuseries ‘Receiver’

Ever since his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift became public knowledge, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce can’t go anywhere without a camera in his face.

It’s because of that very reason that Kelce recently admitted on an episode of the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast that he turned down starring in the Netflix docuseries “Receiver.”

“After (Patrick Mahomes) did it, I did get asked about it,” Kelce said. “I’d rather just play ball, man; I’m already doing enough with the podcast and everything. I’m way over the reality [expletive], dude. I’m out on that.”

Certainly, Kelce’s romance with Swift would have likely been a center point of the show, which he doesn’t seem too keen on.

“Receiver,” which premieres on July 10, follows Vegas’ Davante Adams, Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson, Detroit’s Amon-Ra St. Brown and San Francisco’s Deebo Samuel plus tight end George Kittle and gives a behind-the-scenes look into the lives, both on and off the field, of some of the top pass-catchers in the NFL, similar to what Netflix did with “Quarterback” last year.
