Travis Kelce may have kept a low profile this offseason, but don’t let the quiet fool you, the Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end is still dialed in. Recently spotted training at a high school football field in Georgia, Kelce’s unexpected appearance has reignited conversations about his focus, drive, and determination to chase another Super Bowl victory.

It wasn’t an NFL facility, nor was it part of some high-profile camp. Instead, Kelce was seen putting in work at Chamblee High School in Georgia alongside Jazz Lewis, the son of former NFL running back and Super Bowl champion Jamal Lewis.
The session wasn’t just a light throw-around. Kelce ran full-speed drills, launched tight spirals, and offered hands-on coaching to the young Lewis, who later shared the moment on social media, calling it a valuable learning experience. Kelce’s appearance wasn’t random either, Jamal Lewis now works as a college recruiting director at the school and helped facilitate the workout.
After months of speculation about whether Kelce would retire, this move sends a strong message, the fire’s still burning.

Following the Chiefs' rollercoaster 2024 season and a stinging Super Bowl loss, Kelce openly admitted he considered stepping away from the game. But a moment of reflection turned into renewed resolve. In a recent conversation with Pat McAfee, Kelce declared his return for the 2025 season, promising to chase peak form and “get back to the mountaintop.”
As he gears up for his 13th NFL season, Kelce is also doubling down on his brand off the field.

Coming up on May 17, 2025, Kelce will host the second edition of Kelce Jam, his high-energy music festival that blends NFL swagger with festival vibes. With past performers like Diplo, Lil Wayne, and 2 Chainz, the event has quickly become a must-attend for Kansas City fans. This year’s venue is expected to be the Azura Amphitheater, though the official announcement is still pending.
Whether it’s on turf or on stage, Travis Kelce isn’t slowing down, he’s just getting started. His return isn’t just about football. It’s about legacy, leadership, and lighting up every arena he steps into.
