Travis Kelce shows off fresh cut at Chiefs training camp
The post Travis Kelce shows off fresh cut at Chiefs training camp appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Kansas City Chiefs are currently taking part in training camp as they gear up for the 2025 NFL season. The Chiefs are looking to bounce back from their humiliation at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles in last year's Super Bowl, which ended their bid for a historic three-peat. The Chiefs have made some strides to help out their wide receiving core so far this offseason, but they still employ future Hall of Famer Travis Kelce, who showed some major signs of slowing down last season. Recently, Kelce showed up at Chiefs training camp with a new haircut, and fans in the comment section on X, formerly Twitter, had thoughts. 'Smiling like they already know february's ending,' wrote one fan, hinting at another potential Super Bowl. 'I need 870 rec yards at least!' demanded another. Another fan referenced Kelce's high profile relationship with singer Taylor Swift. 'He finally looks like an NFL player for the first time since he started dating Taylor Swift.' they wrote. How much does Travis Kelce have left? As previously mentioned, the Travis Kelce of the last couple of seasons is not the same player who torched opposing defenses during the beginning of the Chiefs' dynastic years in the late 2010s and early 2020s. While Kelce has had moments of being able to step up when the Chiefs absolutely need him to (particularly during their 2024 Super Bowl run), most of the headlines surrounding the future Hall of Famer have been more about his relationship with Swift rather than his play on the field. This being the case, the Chiefs will be looking for wide receiving help elsewhere, including from rising second year player Xavier Worthy, who had an impressive rookie season with Kansas City. Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice recently was sentenced to 30 days in jail for his role in a hit and run, and it's highly likely that he will be suspended upon his return to Kansas City, meaning it's unclear at this point how much he will be on the field next season. In any case, the Chiefs will kick off their 2025 season in Brazil against the divisional rival Los Angeles Chargers on September 5.

Travis Kelce helps break up fight at Chiefs training camp
The post Travis Kelce helps break up fight at Chiefs training camp appeared first on ClutchPoints. Travis Kelce had to jump in to stop a fight between his two teammates during Chiefs training camp on Tuesday (July 29). The fight broke out between offensive lineman Josh Simmons and defensive end Ashton Gillotte, according to footage of KCTV5 reporter Mark Poulose. In the footage, Gillotte looks to be holding Simmons with force during the play while Simmons tries to shake his other teammate off of him. In that moment, Gillotte moves forward towards Simmons, where he throws a punch at Gillotte. Simmons and Gillotte threw a few more punches at one another until Kelce, along with other teammates, came to break the two players up. While head coach Andy Reid was on the sidelines, he had his hands on his hips as he seemingly looked annoyed at his team for the fight. Kelce's actions during practice shadow what Chiefs tight end coach Tom Melvin has said about him previously on being a leader on the team. 'He's just the ultimate competitor,' Melvin told Sports Illustrated back in February. 'You hear a lot about his outgoing personality. He relishes more in being the leader by example, as opposed to some of the outward stuff is just him being him—I'm not going to be a leader because I'm dancing before the play. I'm going to be a leader because I'm running full speed and I'm setting up my teammate to be successful.' Kelce was drafted by the Chiefs in 2013 and earlier this year, he reflected on the Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles where he was upset with his performance as a leader on the team. 'Last year, I think I failed, especially in that last game, in being a leader and being the one who could step up and make plays,' Kelce said last week at training camp to reporters. 'I felt like I failed my guys.' 'You've got to be able to walk the walk; to be able to talk and preach it to guys,' he continued. 'I think just putting myself in the best situation I can athletically that's going to pay off down the road.' This wasn't the first time that Kelce spoke about the Super Bowl loss where he caught only four passes for 39 yards. 'It just wasn't our day,' Travis told his brother Jason Kelce on their New Heights podcast. 'I couldn't find a lick of momentum. I'm kicking myself for some of the tiny, tiny decisions I made on the field.' He continued, 'I wasn't the best leader that I could be in motivating my guys and keeping my guys calm, cool, collected. Now, Travis is preparing to go into his 13th year with the Chiefs and shut down retirement rumors for now. 'I got one year on this contract, I know that, and we'll try and figure out something for next year,' Kelce said . 'The Chiefs organization knows how much I love them. I can't see myself ever playing anywhere else. We'll deal with that down the road when the time is right, but right now I'm focused on winning a championship this year.'
