He is a key offensive player for his team.<\/p>\n<p>Tight ends can stand at either end of the offensive line, who form a line in front of the quarterback to protect him.<\/p>\n<p>They are generally deployed between the offensive line and the wide receivers, who make runs for the quarterback to throw the ball to.<\/p>\n<p>This means tight ends must be versatile. Sometimes they will be called upon to act defensively and block players coming at them, while on other occasions they will burst forward and make plays to receive the ball and score touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Kelce has remained with the Kansas City Chiefs since being drafted by the organisation in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>His older brother, Jason Kelce, plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, and is expected to retire from the NFL during this off-season. However, reports suggest he may be ready to renege on his initial intentions.<\/p>\n<p>The Kelce brothers\u2019 mother, Donna Kelce, attracted widespread attention and love from fans ahead of last year\u2019s Super Bowl\u2026 between the Chiefs and Eagles, with each of her sons on opposing teams. She wore a half-half jersey in both colours.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, in more recent times, Kelce has dominated the headlines for his ongoing relationship with Taylor Swift, causing massive hysteria over her appearances at NFL games throughout the campaign.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Travis Kelce age and height<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Travis Kelce is 34 years old. He was born on 5th October 1989.<\/p>\n<p>He is 6ft 5ins (1.96m) and weighs approximately 250lb (113kg).<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"1a6b0e0db50a4b603ee80add086ccc174fb227f8\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"1a6b0e0db50a4b603ee80add086ccc174fb227f8\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <h2><strong>Travis Kelce career and honours<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>High school<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cleveland Heights High School, Ohio<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>College<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>University of Cincinnati (2008-2012)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>NFL Draft 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Round 3 \u2013 Pick 63<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>NFL<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kansas City Chiefs (2013-present)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Honours<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Super Bowl champion x2 (LIV, LVII)<\/li>\n<li>Pro Bowl x9 (2015-2023)<\/li>\n<li>NFL 2010s All-Decade Team<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Travis Kelce stats this season<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Regular season<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>15\/17 games played<\/li>\n<li>93 receptions<\/li>\n<li>984 receiving yards<\/li>\n<li>5 touchdowns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Playoffs<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3\/3 games played<\/li>\n<li>23 receptions<\/li>\n<li>262 receiving yards<\/li>\n<li>3 touchdowns<\/li>\n<\/ul> <p><strong>If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\" rel=\"noopener\">TV Guide<\/a> or<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Streaming Guide<\/b><\/a>, or visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sport\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Sport<\/a> hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Try Radio Times magazine today and get 10 issues for only \u00a310 \u2013 <a id=\"OWAd6a6c3ba-49f5-0b08-841b-80c9962943d5\" class=\"OWAAutoLink\" title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription\/?utm_term=evergreen-article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription\/?utm_term=evergreen-article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\" data-loopstyle=\"linkonly\">subscribe now<\/a>.
