As Travis Kelce’s legendary career with the Kansas City Chiefs winds down, Andy Reid’s search for his successor is leading him to some unexpected places. Troy University tight end Ethan Conner is rapidly emerging as a top prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft.

Swift is reportedly focused on "trying to put [Kelce] in a better mood" as he considers potentially retiring from his NFL career.

Kelce's a seven-time All-Pro, 11-time Pro Bowler, three-time Super Bowl champion and a future Hall of Famer. He's made $111 million. He's engaged to Taylor Swift. If he decides to return, he'll do so for the love of the game.

Kelce, who finished the season with five touchdowns and 76 receptions for 851 yards, according to the NFL, is a three-time Super Bowl champion, playing a key role in the Chiefs' success as they took home the Super Bowl LIV, LVII and LVIII titles.

Travis Kelce is expanding his career beyond football by co-authoring a book with his brother Jason Kelce, inspired by their New Heights segment. The move comes amid NFL retirement rumours and wedding speculation with Taylor Swift,
