Swift Discouraging Kelce From Retirement
All dynasties must eventually come to an end, and that could be the Chiefs' fate whether they win another Super Bowl or not. A win would make Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce four-time Super Bowl champions.
With Kelce being a potential four-time champ, it would almost certainly solidify his status as the GOAT tight end and perhaps signal toward the end of his career especially because his brother Jason retired last season. However, the Chiefs star says his pop star girlfriend, Taylor Swift, is adamant about his staying on the field after this season.
"She's fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game," Kelce said.
"She loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams."

Micah Parsons Compares Rookie QB to Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes
The Washington Commanders fell short of becoming NFC East champs. But they were impressive in the Wild Card round of the Playoffs, thanks to their starting quarterback, Jayden Daniels. But Daniels' heroics have become a regularity dating back to the regular season. He led the Commanders to two walk-off victories en route to an overall record of 12-5. And his 25 to 9 touchdown touchdown-to-interception ratio is not too shabby either.
Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons believes he has the same characteristics as Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
"In every moment, it just seems like he's never fazed," Parsons said of Daniels. "So, when I see that, it's just like I can't go against a guy like that. We've only seen two guys in that league who are not fazed like that when it matters the most. And that's Patrick Mahomes, and that's Tom Brady. So, when I see this guy who's just not fazed, and at every moment, he just seems to shine the brightest. And he just puts those drives together to win those games. I just can't bet against a guy like that. So, I can only imagine how ready he's going to be in this moment."
