Travis, visibly excited, talked about his father, Ed Kelce, and the time when he was seen chatting with Taylor Swift during the game against Broncos. However, the conversation then shifted towards Rugby. Known for its relentless physicality and confrontation, Rugby is a sport that excites the Kelce brothers.
Travis & Jason Kelce Reflect on Their Love for Rugby
In a candid discussion on their acclaimed New Heights podcast, the NFL stars opened up about the grueling nature of Rugby, expressing admiration and a certain eagerness for the sport. Travis sparked the conversation with a simple remark: “I think that’s where I kind of like it.” Jason chimed in, highlighting the brutal physicality of the sport: “You’re not wearing pads, so each hit is going to hurt a little bit more. You see those guys bleeding all the time.”
It was Travis’s enthusiastic interjection, “I want to go and watch a game right now; I f*****g love watching rugby,” that really charged the atmosphere. The brothers delved deeper, comparing the NFL’s intense collisions to the more visibly gruesome nature of rugby injuries.
Yet, it was Travis’s candid confession, “The tougher, they don’t wear pads, dude,” followed by a playful, “I’d flank like a motherf****r,” that hinted at a potential new avenue for the Kelces beyond the familiar touchdowns.
