At times, he appeared emotional, acknowledging the toll the game has taken on him.
Kelce shared with listeners, “I know everyone wants to know if I’m playing next year, and right now, I’m just kicking everything down the road. I’m not making any crazy decisions yet.”
He went on to explain how his focus is on supporting his teammates and coaches, even as he weighs his options.
“Making it to so many AFC Championships and Super Bowls means I’m playing extra games compared to everyone else in the league, and that takes a toll on the body,” Kelce admitted.
“It’s a lot of wear and tear, and honestly, it’s a lot of time spent honing in on the game.
That can be exhausting, and honestly, it’s been wearing on me this year.”
