On the morning of his 25th birthday, Kelce texted with some friends. They told him that when he scored that day, they wanted a little Ric Flair strut. Kelce grew up watching wrestling, though Flair’s peak was a bit before his time. Still, Kelce always respected him as a showman. “People like to say it’s fake,” Kelce says. “I’d like to go see someone try to act and be that exciting when a camera’s in [your] face. That’s tough stuff to do. That guy is entertaining, period.” After a 2-yard plunge in a game that the Chiefs eventually lost to the 49ers, Kelce paid homage to the Nature Boy.

Kelce sees some similarities between himself and Flair. Winning is paramount, but football is also an entertainment business. He wants fame, and he wants it in ways he may be afraid to admit. “I really want to be one of the greats,” Kelce says. “I want to be able to walk somewhere and have people say, ‘Oh, that’s Travis.’

I enjoy being the one on TV. I enjoy being the show. I enjoy making people laugh. If I can put a smile on someone’s face if I do a dance in the end zone, why not?” There are teams around the NFL where the mere mention of attention would be immediately stifled. “That,” Kelce says, “is why I love playing for Andy Reid.” Kelce says that Reid encourages every player to let his personality show, that the coach believes expression is necessary to play your best version of the game.
