There were a lot of doubts about Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce in the offseason.
He hasn’t been as dominant in the past couple of years, and while some fans blame his relationship with Taylor Swift and all the distractions off the field for that, the fact of the matter is that he’s not getting any younger.
As a matter of fact, he just turned 36 on Sunday.
The Chiefs took to social media to congratulate their future Hall of Famer on his birthday, and he will have plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Wishing the happiest of birthdays to the human exclamation point❗️
We hope it’s your best year yet, @tkelce ❤️ pic.twitter.com/VKzvuPTHIN

His team will hit the road to square off with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night, and they’re currently riding some positive momentum with a two-game winning streak.
Unfortunately, Kelce knows that the clock is running out on him, and while he doesn’t want to give that much thought to retirement, he’s inching closer to the day he will ride into the sunset.
As such, he opened up on enjoying the ride while it lasts, and he’s looked rejuvenated out there.
The Chiefs don’t need him to be the same big-play specialist he was in his heyday, as they now have younger and flashier weapons to help Patrick Mahomes keep their chains in motion.
Nevertheless, he will continue to be a perennial threat on the open field for as long as he’s healthy.
And if this is, in fact, the end of the line for the future Hall of Famer, it has definitely been an incredible run.
