Kansas City general manager Brett Veach was asked during an interview with NFL Network at the scouting combine about which version of Kelce the Chiefs could expect if he returns next year, and the executive revealed the 35-year-old tight end was not feeling himself in the lead-up to the big game.

Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce debuted a closer to clean-shaven look after the 2025 Super Bowl in a Feb. 25 teaser for the New Heights podcast, which he shares with brother Jason Kelce.

The Chiefs say they expect Travis Kelce to return next season. But there’s still an “if,” according to one notable figure.
