Travis Kelce is now a 3-time Super Bowl champion and in arguably the world’s most widely-covered public relationship with Taylor Swift, so it makes sense that the man can’t find an easy way to escape the spotlight these days.
Kelce recently made an appearance on Barstool Sports’ podcast Bussin’ With The Boys, hosted by former NFL vets Taylor Lewan and Will Compton, and he got candid about why he passed on yet another media commitment when he turned down a spot on the new Netflix show, “Receiver.”
Kelce told the boys, “After (Patrick Mahomes) did it, I did get asked about it. I’d rather just play ball, man; I’m already doing enough with the podcast and everything,” said Kelce. “I’m way over the reality [expletive], dude. I’m out on that [expletive].”
Kelce probably still has a bad taste in his mouth from when he was the star of his own reality dating show, Catching Kelce, a show he has ridiculed in recent years despite him being the main attraction.
Last year, Mahomes was one of three quarterbacks to star in Netflix’s “Quarterback” alongside Marcus Mariota and Kirk Cousins.
Travis added, “I thought it was cool the way my brother (Jason Kelce) did his doc, though, kind of like a follow towards the end of somebody’s career, kind of the ups and downs and the battles that he had, and I think he did it the right way, but it was, it’s something that was so him,” said Kelce.
Netflix must be bummed they couldn’t sneak the Taylor Swift ratings pop onto their platform.
