What Advice did Andy Reid Render to Travis Kelce?
Head Coach Andy Reid, who has guided the Chiefs to three Super Bowl victories, opened up about the advice he gave Kelce during a pivotal moment. Speaking on The Bettor Angle podcast, Reid recalled, "We had a great visit before he left. I always tell the guys to 'Get out of here.' You know, he's an older guy. 'Get out and get your mind to where it's not one day after the Super Bowl. Get out there and relax a little bit. And then let your mind calm down and think about it.' But he's all in."
Reid’s words, coming from one of the most accomplished and respected coaches in NFL history, likely carried significant weight for Kelce. Reid emphasized that Kelce's value to the team remains unquestionable despite his age. "Listen, he's getting older," Reid acknowledged. "But you're talking about the guy that's gonna go down as maybe the best of all time at that position [tight end]. If he's a step slower or whatever people are saying, he's still one of the best in the National Football League and in my eyes he's the best ... Whatever he does on the field, the greatness that he does there, he's an even better person off the field."
