NEW ORLEANS — Travis Kelce sounds like he is not planning on leaving football anytime soon.

The Chiefs’ 35-year-old tight end had a less productive season with just three receiving touchdowns in the regular season. However, he is making his third consecutive Super Bowl appearance and his fifth in the last six years. At the Super Bowl Opening Night, Kelce was questioned about his future plans for the next three years.

Kelce responded, “Where will I be in three years? I don’t know. Hopefully, still playing football. I enjoy this job and look forward to it every day. I believe I still have much to offer in football. We’ll see what unfolds. I have been working on paving the way for other opportunities in life. It has always been my aim to realize that football career is short-lived. Finding another vocation has been in my plans. I have been laying the groundwork for it during the offseasons. Yet, my primary focus is on remaining a valuable player with the Kansas City Chiefs and continuing to play football.”

Post-retirement, Kelce is expected to have numerous prospects in the media industry. He runs a successful podcast with his brother Jason. Moreover, Travis’ visibility has increased in the past 18 months due to his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.

That is why he drew a large crowd again Monday night. He got questions about who would win a thumb wrestling match against his brother and his favorite Mexican food and, of course, plenty of questions about Swift.

His favorite meal of hers?

“She is quite the cook. I would say I’m a breakfast guy, man,” Kelce said. “Her Pop Tarts are unbelievable. Homemade Pop Tarts, unbelievable.”

Swift grew up in Pennsylvania, but Kelce said he does not believe she was ever an Eagles fan and he knows who she’ll be rooting for on Sunday.

“I don’t know her to have the fandom. I know her father has the Philadelphia fandom as an Eagles fan,” Kelce said. “She’ll be all for the Chiefs this time around.”

Who is her dad rooting for?

“I’ll have to ask Scott himself,” Kelce said. “We haven’t had that convo yet but I think he’ll be wearing red.”

Kelce has been at the Super Bowl enough times now that he knows what to expect and he seemed to enjoy himself Monday night in front of the cameras and microphones.

“My first Super Bowl, I got caught into the hype,” Kelce said. “It’s easy to get caught into the hype with all the lights. It’s the biggest game of your life. The entire world is watching. … The biggest lesson I’ve learned is don’t let the hype get to you.”
