Yes I realize he had his own reality TV show BUT you noticed that didn't last long because someone gave him some wise advice and said, "Travis you are not ready for primetime just yet, you need to grow up and really focus on football and establish your football legacy FIRST !! You are doing this ASS BACKWARDS !! And he did just that which has been good for sure.
But to your point not only age and mileage but more in his case I worry more about "outside distractions" eating into his concentration(dropped passes or not being on the same page with Pat when deciphering defenses running the wrong routes because of less game prep) and the obvious to your point about age and mileage which goes hand in hand about my previous comment about ("let the young do the heavy lifting") not going over the middle as much, not taking on those tough blocks when needed etc.......
He has 2 SB rings, ALL PRO HONORS out the wazu  He knows he is going into the HOF !! He knows he has other options now and is he tired of being beat up week in and week out is the big question ??? Just saying. We'll see???  |
I don't totally disagree with this... on their last podcast he said that he skipped a couple stretching exercises that probably would have prevented his hyperextension. Plus he is 33.
We've PROBABLY seen the best of Kelce already... but let's hope he has enough in the tank to run it back. I'd like to have Kelce on the team for another 4-6 years, but I bet we only get 3.
