Tragic Details About Travis Kelce

Publish date: 2024-06-24

Travis and Jason Kelce were as thick as thieves growing up, from getting suspended together to being teammates at the University of Cincinnati. However, their close bond was put to the test after Jason graduated college and was picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles. On top of his NFL career putting distance between the pair, Travis was later drafted by the Chiefs, the Eagles' rival team. 

The two went on to face off against each other in the 2023 Super Bowl, where the Chiefs pulled out the victory. The match-up did end up putting the brothers in a better place, however, after reconnecting while playing for opposing teams. "I talked to my brother more this year than I've talked to him since college, probably," Jason said in a post-game presser. "It's been truly a joy, probably one of my most enjoyable seasons both as an Eagle and a brother."

Jason and Travis also started their "New Heights" podcast together in 2022, which gave them an avenue to vent to each other. "I feel like it's made my brother and I closer, talking every single week," Jason told NBC Sports Philadelphia. "Normally in the course of a season, you go months without talking to each other at times." The Chiefs player seconded that notion, saying, "It's almost been like therapy, man. It's been cool to hear what he's going through and just to have some fun with my brother like we did back in the day."
