Travis Kelce had the worst season of his NFL career — in terms of receiving yards and touchdowns — since his rookie year, where he played just one snap on special teams before suffering a season-ending injury. The Kansas City Chiefs star recorded 823 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 97 receptions.
He suggested that he could retire at various points this offseason; however, he decided to return to the franchise for a 13th season, revealing that he ultimately could not end his career after losing in the Super Bowl.
Off the field, Kelce has seen his star power rise due to his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift and his immensely popular “New Heights” podcast, which he hosts with his older brother and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. The 10-time Pro Bowler recently shared who would be his dream guest for his podcast.

Kelce recently appeared on “Bussin’ With The Boys” with former NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan. The hosts praised his podcast, noting that he has had plenty of megastars on the show, leading the seven-time All-Pro tight end to reveal that LeBron James was his favorite guest that he has had on the show.
He was then asked who he would like to have on the show, responding:
“Man, I want to get Deion Sanders on, so bad. I want to talk to him about the football and baseball world that he was in, in the late-80s, early 90s, and I don’t know, just chop it up. Because he was always one of my favorite guys. I played every sport imaginable growing up, and I always wanted to be one of those guys that played both. Played two. Two-sport professional athlete.
“No f**king chance. No shot. The story about him playing in both — he had to helicopter from one in the same day. [Played in the NFL and then flew] to a baseball playoff game or something like that. It was crazy.”
Sanders is widely considered one of the greatest athletes of all time. He remains the only player to score a touchdown in the NFL and hit a home run in the MLB in the same week. The Pro and College Football Hall of Famer is one of just seven players since 1970 to play in both leagues, with him and Bo Jackson serving as the most notable of the group.
