For Pete's Sake

Here are new Accelerator energy drink commercials featuring Chiefs’ Travis Kelce

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has branched out into the acting world and he’s done more than work in television and movies.

Kelce has been seen in a number of commercials, and that work has allowed him to do a little acting.

For instance, Kelce played a newscaster in a spot for Accelerator energy drinks. Here is Kelce playing “Travis Cornflower,” who has a bit of a Ron Burgundy vibe.

Kelce didn’t channel a character in the latest spot for Accelerator as he surprised people in a store. This also is probably scripted, but it’s possible it’s not.

Either way, here is that commercial.
