Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0tight end\u00a0Travis Kelce\u00a0has already done enough in his\u00a0NFL career to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n

And while the 35-year-old briefly considered retiring after losing\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0LIX, he’s far from ready to hang up his cleats. Kelce told reporters on June 18, \u201cI know I’m getting older, but at the same time I still feel like I got a lot that I can prove in this league.<\/p>\n

“It really wasn’t that hard of a decision for me,” he said of returning to play in 2025. “I still felt like I had that fire in my chest to be able to keep coming in and building and be better and chase another Super Bowl.”<\/p>\n

Kelce’s older brother,\u00a0Jason Kelce, retired at age 36 after 13 seasons with the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n

Jason, a former six-time First-Team All-Pro, is also expected to make a trip to Canton, Ohio and wear a gold jacket one day.<\/p>\n

While Jason prepares for his second season as a co-host of “Monday Night Countdown,” he and his little brother were at the top of ESPN’s minds when they formulated the NFL’s All Quarter Century Team.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs star and the former Eagles center made the 53-man roster. To celebrate the occasion, the Kelce brothers’ alma mater, University of Cincinnati, celebrated the occasion with an announcement on June 20.<\/p>\n
