Travis Kelce

“I think when you have big-time businesses around that want to be part of the sports community and the athletic community it's a huge advantage in the bigger markets.”

“That's one of the things about the NFL is that you have small-market teams, big-market teams. I feel like the bigger market teams do kind of have an advantage in terms of off-the-field money.”

“You have to fight... for your right... to Lombarrdi!”

“My entire career, you can't say Travis Kelce without Alex Smith. He's been my quarterback, he's been the guy. I owe a lot of my success to him.”

“I wouldn't even say I'm really good at dancing, I'd just say I'm not shy to movement. At a young age, people would laugh at me moving. None of it looked like it should have been called a dance move. But it was just me being goofy.”

“When I get the ball in my hands I'm a different type of athlete.”

“I'm a Kansas City citizen; I'm around all the time.”

“My actions on the field are very - I don't want to say emotional, but emotion does get the best of me out there. If I do something wrong, I'm livid. I take it that seriously.”

“I feel like it's a duty of mine to make sure that I'm helping out as much as I can, knowing that it's a responsibility.”

“A pain plan is something that's very understood between you and your healthcare provider.”

“I had an opportunity to meet Kobe and he's just an unbelievable person.”

“It's a deal-breaker for me when a girl can't handle herself with class or acts different when you're not around me and things like that.”

“In certain situations, you have to be able to be more conscious of ball security than you do in the open field.”

“I get most of my athleticism from my mom. I know my dad cringes every single time I say that, but my competitive nature was always fueled by my dad.”

“You never get to see the intimate side of a football player.”

“Blocking is part physicality and part physics. You have to be the lower man and get your hands inside to control your opponent's mass. If you have short footwork, tight hands and if you play low, you can hold your own.”

“As a blocker, that gets you excited, man. You've got somebody who can take it to the house at any point in the game, and you want to make sure that you get your guy that much more.”

“I really want to be one of the greats. I want to be able to walk somewhere and have people say, 'Oh, that's Travis.'”

“Helping out Kansas City is just fun, you know?”

“Those kind of accolades, the individual accolades are something that you can hang our hat on when it's all said and done.”
