The Kansas City Chiefs prepare to chase a historic three-peat, with all eyes being on Travis Kelce, the star tight end, who took a moment during Opening Night at the Superdome on Monday to reflect on his future in the NFL.
Despite speculation that this could be his last season, the 35-year-old playmaker made it clear-he's not ready to hang up his cleats just yet.
With 12 seasons under his belt, Kelce has accomplished more than most players dream of, including multiple Super Bowl wins, countless All-Pro selections, and a Hall of Fame-worthy career. But retirement? Not quite yet.
"I've thought about it, but I still love what I do," Kelce shared when asked about his plans beyond football. "It's moments like these, weeks like these, the month that we just had in the playoffs that make me feel like I could play this game forever. I think I still got a lot of football left in me."
This season has been particularly memorable for Kelce, not just on the field but in his personal life. His relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift has added another layer of attention, but for Kelce, the game remains his top priority.

"I think this year has been one of the most special years of my life," he continued. "I think it's gonna continue to make me want to do more in the football world."
While Jason Kelce, his older brother, recently announced his retirement after 13 seasons with the Eagles, Travis is adamant that he still has plenty of gas left in the tank.
Jason, who is also in New Orleans this week, will likely be ing the Eagles on Sunday, February 9, but he remains one of Travis' biggest ers, even when they're on opposing teams.
The announcement
Despite a jam-packed Super Bowl week, the Kelce brothers still found time for a major announcement regarding their popular podcast, "New Heights."
On Tuesday night, they revealed that this week's episode will air on Thursday instead of Wednesday-and will feature special guests.
The teaser video showed Jason wearing a Mardi Gras mask, while Travis sported a Michael Jordan sweatshirt-a clear reference to Jordan's two three-peats with the Chicago Bulls.
If the Chiefs emerge victorious against the Eagles, they will become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls-a feat that would solidify their dynasty.
