The Kansas City Chiefs tight end says he’s been enjoying all the opportunities that come his way after his third championship in five years.

“It’s just so much fun getting into when you win the Super Bowl, all these doors open, and so I’ve just been going through all these open doors, experiencing life and just appreciating the people that have got me here and also staying high and meeting new faces.”

But Kelce says he prefers to stay busy, especially as he ventures deeper into the entertainment industry.

“It doesn’t feel like there’s much chill in my life. Everything seems to be full throttle and just moving at the speed of light, and that’s how I kind of like it.”

Kelce adds, “I like it to be up pace. I like to have just exciting things going on. And sure enough, I’m out here in the entertainment world trying to dabble into that before I get back locked in on football and knowing that that’s going to be my focus until I’m done playing.”

“But to dabble around in the entertainment space is something that I’m really interested in,” he adds.
