Travis Kelce is going to have a different look this summer as training camp nears.
With the Chiefs set to start mandatory minicamp next week, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported on Saturday that Kelce is going to have a different look this summer — a 12kg-lighter look, to be exact.

Kelce, who was listed at 250 pounds last season, did not attend voluntary OTAs — and was even spotted Thursday at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final with girlfriend Taylor Swift — but is expected to be at practice Tuesday, the New York Post reports.
“He will debut a bit of a slimmer look,” Fowler said on “SportsCenter” on Saturday morning.
“He’s told people close to him that he’s lost about 25 pounds (about 12kg) this off-season. Played a little bit heavier in 2024, sort of a thing. He vowed to change it, and he has.”
Fowler added that this season could be Kelce’s “last dance.”
Kelce and the Chiefs were thumped by the Eagles in Super Bowl 2025, and questions lingered for the early part of the off-season about whether the tight end would retire.
He was named to his 10th Pro Bowl in 2024, but he produced the lowest full-season receiving yard total (823) of his career with just three touchdowns.
But on Feb. 27, Kelce texted Pat McAfee that he would indeed return for a 13th NFL season.
“I’m coming back, for sure,” Kelce told McAfee in a text that was read on the air on the ex-punter’s show on ESPN.
“Gonna try and get to the best shape I’ve been this off-season and get back to the mountaintop.
“Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and how I got the guys ready for battle. I can’t go out like that!!!!”
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes said at the end of May that if this is the last go-around of Kelce, it wasn’t apparent in how he was going about his business.
“If it’s the last ride, you would never know,” Mahomes told reporters.
“The way he’s talking about football, the way he’s talking about working and trying to be even better this year than he was last year, he doesn’t seem like a guy like it’s his last ride, like he’s tired of the job.”
The Chiefs will start their AFC title defence in Brazil on Sept. 5 against the Chargers.
