REPORT: Chiefs Star Travis Kelce Made Astute Offseason Change, NFL Insider Says

Kelce shed a significant amount of weight this offseason.

Kelce will look noticeably slimmer when he reports to Chiefs minicamp next week.

Kelce’s future was up in the air following the Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, a game in which he was uncharacteristically unproductive.

But Kelce, in a February text to ESPN personality Pat McAfee confirming he’d be playing another season, vowed not only that he would not be going out “like that”, but that he would also get “to the best shape” this offseason.

It would appear that he has done just that. Kelce managed to produce a robust 97 receptions but posted career lows in receiving yards, 823, and touchdown receptions, 3 in 2024. Kelce, who will turn 36 in October, is entering his 13th NFL season.

“The Chiefs knew that Kelce was going to be gone this week,” Fowler said. “He’s expected back for minicamp. He’ll address the media, be on the practice field—all that fun stuff. And he will debut a bit of a slimmer look. He’s told people close to him that he’s lost about 25 pounds this offseason.”
