The Kansas City Chiefs are heading into a new NFL season, led by none other than head coach Andy Reid.

The legendary head coach has taken the Chiefs to three straight Super Bowl appearances, having won five AFC titles during the Patrick Mahomes-Travis Kelce era.

As he looks to lead the Chiefs to a Super Bowl title, he commented on Kelce’s recent run in the news.

Travis Kelce has been one of the biggest names in sports over the past several days. First, Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce made an announcement about Taylor Swift’s appearance on the “New Heights Show.”

“Listen, I’m like really old, Nate,” Reid said. “My grandkids will be all over it. But listen, I’m happy for him. Both of them like each other and, what a plus that is. They care about each other and I think that’s the most important thing. The older yet get, you want these guys to have someone they can settle down with and that whole thing.”

Andy Reid also shared his reaction to the news of Travis Kelce being named as the cover of GQ Sports, the September addition. The news dropped just after the topic on Taylor Swift, keeping Kelce at the spotlight in the sports world.

During his photoshoot with GQ, Kelce was seen holding small alligator and posed for several other unique shots with animal fur and more.

“It’s great to be young man,” Reid said. “That alligator is 175 pounds or something. Made him hold for quite a while, it looked like. I’m not sure who was madder, the alligator or Travis.”

Aside from being a star outside of the white lines, Travis Kelce has continued to prove that he’s one of the best tight ends in NFL history.

Kelce is heading into his 13th season with the Kansas City Chiefs, having posted three touchdowns and 823 yards on 97 receptions last season.
