Travis Kelce Says He’ll Quit If Coach Andy Reid Does: ‘I’m Not Playing for Anybody Else’

 

Kelce and Reid have won three Super Bowls together over the last five seasons.

Travis isn’t going to play for anybody other than Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.

 

 

On the latest episode of Travis’ New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, the 34-year-old NFL star said he’d quit playing football if Reid quit coaching.

Travis’ comment came as he and his brother were discussing the Chiefs star’s widely debated outburst towards Reid on the sideline during Sunday night’s Super Bowl game.

“I’m a passionate guy,” Kelce said, talking about the moment he bumped into Reid while yelling at him on the sideline.

I love Coach Reid, Coach Reid knows how much I love to play for him, how much I love to be a product of his coaching career. I’m not playing for anybody else but Big Red. If he calls it quits this year I’m out of there with him, man.”

Jason responded saying, “He ain’t calling it quits, come on now.”

“He’s not,” Travis said.

Reid, 65, has been an NFL head coach for 25 seasons. He’s coached the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chiefs, winning three Super Bowls with Kansas City.

Reid confirmed he’s planning to return to coach the Chiefs next season shortly after winning the Super Bowl on Sunday.

After the admission that he’ll only play for Reid, Travis went on to explain what happened between him and his coach during the Super Bowl.

Travis and Reid have a close relationship, both joining the Chiefs in 2013 and winning three Super Bowls together in the last five seasons.

They’ve frequently showed emotion towards each other on the sideline, but Sunday’s exchange was caught on camera and shown during the Super Bowl broadcast on CBS in front of a record-breaking television audience.
