Travis Kelce brutally snubbed girlfriend Taylor Swift and, instead, named an ex-NFL star as his dream guest for ‘New Heights’.
The podcast, which is co-hosted by Kelce and his NFL legend brother Jason Kelce, has soared in popularity since the Kansas City Chiefs star’s romance with Swift.
Ever since Kelce and Swift got together, listeners and fans of ‘New Heights’ have been keen for an episode with the pop star as a guest.
However, it appears that they’ll have to wait a while longer after Kelce, instead, named Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders as the the guest he wants ‘so bad’.
Speaking on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast, Kelce admitted: ‘Man, I want to get Deion Sanders on so bad.
‘I want to talk to him about the football and baseball world that he was in in the late ’80s, early ’90s, and just chop it up.
‘I played every sport imaginable growing up and I always wanted to be one of those guys that played both, a two-sport professional athlete’.
The Sanders name has dominated headlines in recent weeks after Shedeur Sanders – son of Deion – suffered one the most shocking slides in NFL draft history.
Sanders was tipped by many – his own father included – to be a top-five draft pick but was eventually selected by Cleveland in the fifth round with the 144th overall pick.
Shortly after being drafter, Shedeur was asked about his father Deion’s mystery illness, which has caused him to stay at his home in Texas in recent weeks.
‘I don’t know what’s going on. I’m here not to talk about pops and them. I’m here for the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns,’ Sanders said.
‘I’m focused on learning this playbook and everything I got to do to be the most successful quarterback I can be, be the best teammate I can be. Outside of that, I don’t really have any thoughts or opinions on anything outside this game.’
Last month, the coach’s eldest son – Deion Sanders Jr. – appeared in a YouTube livestream from the home in Canyon, Texas where he said the former NFL cornerback was in his room and ‘feeling well’.
‘He’ll tell y’all soon enough what he going through, what he went through,’ Deion Jr. said on the livestream.

Sanders has been absent from the University of Colorado’s camps due to a medical issue
As for when he may return to Colorado, Deion Jr. said, ‘When we get back in Boulder, I don’t know.

Sanders also recently cancelled a speaking engagement at The Foundation for Sickle Cell Research due to an ‘unavoidable last-minute scheduling change.’
In recent years, Sanders has been having multiple health problems – especially related to circulation.
Back in 2021, Sanders underwent multiple surgeries to his left foot to remove blood clots.
Additionally, the now-57-year-old had two toes on that foot amputated.
In 2023, issues due to blood clots led to Sanders skipping a Pac-12 Conference media event in Las Vegas.
