Travis Kelce revealed his dream podcast guest — and it's probably not who fans would have guessed.
During an appearance on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast released on July 1, the Kansas City Chiefs star, 35, talked about the "awesome" guests he and his brother Jason Kelce have had on their podcast New Heights, like LeBron James and Ben Stiller.
When asked by the show's hosts who his dream guest would be, Kelce said he's been wanting to get Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders on the show.
"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 just chop it up."
Kelce said Sanders, 57, was "always one of my favorite guys" because he played multiple sports at the professional level.

"I played every sport imaginable growing up and I always wanted to be one of those guys that played both, a two-sport professional athlete," Kelce said, before adding, "No f------ chance" that he makes it happen.
Sanders played nine seasons in the MLB and 14 in the NFL. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011.
Fans of Kelce's have been hoping his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, will make a guest appearance on the podcast eventually. While the "So High School" singer, 35, has yet to sit down with her boyfriend and his brother for an episode, there have been many mentions of Swift on the show.

Kelce also talked about Swift during his appearance on Bussin' With the Boys, telling listeners that he and Swift are "having fun with" their downtime before the NFL season starts — not showing off.
“It gets thrown out there, like we’re trying to seek attention every now and then," the tight end said. "We’re just enjoying life and having fun going to hockey games, kinda introducing her to some more of the sports world.”

Swift accompanied Kelce to Nashville last month for his annual Tight End University, which he founded with George Kittle and sportscaster Greg Olsen in 2021.
At the Tight Ends & Friends concert at Brooklyn Bowl during the camp, Swift surprised fans with an impromptu performance of her 2014 hit "Shake It Off" on June 24. In videos taken from the show, Kelce can be seen excitedly reacting to Swift's performance.
