Travis Kelce made minor waves earlier this week when he declared he was ready to exhaust himself, saying, “Wear and tear, baby. I’m ready for it man. Put the load on me.”
Andy Reid spoke to reporters on Thursday during minicamp and responded to Kelce’s request. The future Hall of Fame tight end will turn 35 years old in October, but it doesn’t sound like Kansas City has any intention to curb Kelce’s playing time.
With a smirk, Reid said the Chiefs can help Kelce get tired, if that’s what he wants.Despite his age, Kelce helps set the tone for the whole team. If he’s still energetic, giddy, and focused after three Super Bowl wins, everyone else should be energetic, giddy, and focused too. He’s an ideal leader for the franchsie and Chiefs Kingdom is lucky to have him.
Here’s hoping he doesn’t expend all of his energy too quickly nonetheless.
