Travis Kelce receives high praise from his brother
Football has meant more than just a game to Jason. He has also helped build his bond with Travis. The two brothers played football together all their lives. Even until university. Both started at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio. AND
They faced off in Super Bowl LVII, where Travis’ Chiefs defeated Jason’s Eagles. It was the first time in the history of the game that the brothers faced each other.
Following his retirement announcement, Jason praised his brother for the impact he has had not only on his career but also on his life.
“We have a small family. No cousins, an aunt, an uncle. It was really my brother and I, our whole lives. We did almost everything together: we competed, we fought, we laughed, we cried and we learned from each other,” Jason said.
“There is no chance I would be here without the bond that Travis and I share. He made me stronger, tougher and smarter and taught me the values of cooperation, loyalty, patience and understanding. It is too poetic that I found my career fulfilled in the City of Brotherly Love. “I knew that relationship very well.”
