Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is the middle of his 13th (and possibly final) NFL season, and just like everyone else in professional football, he once played on Friday nights.
That’s when high school football games are played, and Kelce still likes the prep game.
On Friday night, Kelce attended the St. James Academy football team’s 45-41 victory over Mill Valley in a Class 5A Kansas quarterfinal game. St. James Academy’s staff includes one of Kelce’s former Chiefs teammates, retired NFL fullback Anthony Sherman.
Matt Foster of KSHB (Ch. 41) shared this video of Kelce at the game.
Another former Chiefs player, wide receiver Gehrig Dieter, was at the game, too.
Kelce, who is engaged to superstar singer Taylor Swift, left before the game ended, which was probably a smart decision since he likely would have been mobbed by fans. You can hear the reaction when Kelce headed out in the video below.
Before departing the stadium, Kelce took time to make one young fan’s night by posing for a photo.
