Kelce is going into his 13th season with the Chiefs, having been drafted back in 2013[/caption]
But Kelce revealed he is not excited about this milestone, claiming, “I’m just not in on birthdays.”
He is now in his 13th year of his NFL career, just two shy of the record.
Punters Dustin Colquitt and Jerrel Wilson both played 15 seasons in Kansas City.
The tight end already holds many career receiving records for the team.
He has the most pass receptions (1019) for the Chiefs, the most receiving touchdowns (78) and the most receiving yards (12,333).
Kelce has been a staple in Kansas City since he was selected in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
Newly appointed head coach Andy Reid believed Kelce, coming out of the University of Cincinnati, to be a first-round talent.
But he had reservations due to Kelce’s suspension in college after he tested positive for marijuana.
Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, who Reid had coached at the Philadelphia Eagles, convinced Reid to draft him, and the rest is history.
The 36-year-old has gone on to win three Super Bowls with Reid and the Chiefs.
He has also been selected ten times in the Pro Bowl and is a four-time first-team All-Pro.
Plus, Kelce was named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team.
Kelce has always had more than just football in his life, however, and that has only spiralled now that he is engaged to Taylor Swift.
In January 2016, Kelce starred in the E! Entertainment Television dating show Catching Kelce, a dating show where women competed to date him.
