During his minicamp press conference on Wednesday, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes commented on Travis Kelce returning for another season after mulling retirement.
«We never talked about it. I think you had that in the back of your mind. I mean, for anybody who’s played a lot of football seasons, there’s always a chance if they’re going to come back and put in the work in the off-season.» said Mahomes, «I think everybody wants to play the games; but putting in the work in the off seasons where stuff gets strenuous. And so, for him, I think it was just recalibrating and seeing where he’s at. From what I’ve seen, I think y’all can see he’s ready to go. He’s been putting in the work this offseason, and he’s excited for another chance to make a run at it.»
The 35-year-old Kelce posted 823 yards with three touchdowns on 97 receptions in 2024. He is vital to the Chiefs’ hopeful explosive offense as the team focuses on big plays in 2025.
