Travis Kelce has made his grand arrival for Monday Night Football with Kansas City Chiefs looking to go 5-0 with a win against New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce strolled into the stadium around two hours before kickoff, wearing a black shirt, shorts and sunglasses and holding a pair of white cleats. He was straight out onto the field to warm up ahead of the game.
‘He’s looking great, look at this,’ his brother Jason, working as an analyst on ESPN for the game, said as the pictures of Kelce’s arrival emerged.
His girlfriend, Taylor Swift, is expected to follow him through the arrivals door closer to kickoff – after missing his birthday on Saturday where the Super Bowl winner turned 35.
Kelce has endured an inconsistent start to the season by his high standards but showed signs of a resurgence in form in last Sunday’s 17-10 win over Los Angeles Chargers.
He amassed 89 yards – more than in his first three games combined – and made a franchise-record 917th reception.
But the tight end made it clear he still expects more from himself and dismissed suggestions that he was back to his best in last week’s New Heights episode.
He told his older brother Jason: ‘Everything outside of the building is just noise… (but) big game? When is 89 yards a big game? It was a solid game, a big game is like I score a touchdown or something.
