The successful NFL career of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was very close to ending after Super Bowl LIX. He returns for a thirteenth season and hears praise from teammates and the coaching staff as he heads into 2025.
During the recent episode of New Heights, the Kelce brothers were joined by Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who shared his appreciation for the Chiefs’ legendary tight end.

“I’m not saying this because you’re sitting here,” Spagnuolo said, “Trav, but you’re one of the purest, down-to-earth megastars that anybody could ever meet.”
Spagnuolo joined the Chiefs’ coaching staff in 2019 and has led a resurgence in the defense, making it one of the best units in the league. He may not coach Kelce directly, but he does practice against him often, building mutual appreciation between the two.
“You’re the best,” Kelce said. “That means the most coming from you, coach.”
Kelce and Spagnuolo aim to unite the team for another trip to the Super Bowl.
