Travis Kelce

I'd be OK if we didn't go back out to London ever again... shout out to everybody in London. I loved the fans.

Football is always going to be my main focus.

My passion for this game is never going to change. You're always going to see me have that fieriness to me. That's just the only way I know how to play this game and I love it for that because I get to release that energy and that passion, that anger that I have.

I'm not trying to stop bettering myself so that I give my team the best chance to win whenever I'm on the field.

Gronk's going to run around there like a Clydesdale, run through everything, like a big boulder. I'm more a guy who can make people miss, break somebody down with a juke move or slide off tackles. Gronk can just break everything.

When I get the ball in my hands I'm a different type of athlete.

My father taught me that you can buy a man's back, but you can't buy his heart.

Nobody puts more expectation on me than myself. That's just the heart of the competitor. That's how I was raised.

Jimmy Graham over in New Orleans started a whole new type of position almost to where he was trying to get paid like a wide receiver. He was split out more than 50 percent of the time.

I told everybody since the second I've been in the league that I've been very success-driven.

I've played 'Madden' my entire life and all of the guys in the 90s I idolized growing up.

I started playing this game in the backyard, I started playing this game in middle school and going to go practice without any fans, without any sounds.

I'm trying to just up the ante, play well-rounded both in the run game, pass game, keep doing my thing when I get the ball and make guys miss.

I don't understand why women get so frustrated with guys talking to other women, just casual conversation. I don't get it. I've had a problem with that.

Whenever you catch a ball, just see it all the way into the tuck.

In certain situations, you have to be able to be more conscious of ball security than you do in the open field.

First and foremost, it's a psychological issue and it's mental concentration - that's all it is. We're all big enough and strong enough to hold onto to the ball, it's just whether or not you want to focus in on it.

It's always fun being in the community, reaching out to not only the Kansas City faithful, but also people that really don't know that much about football and seeing the influence it could possibly have on them.

I'm a Kansas City citizen; I'm around all the time.

It has started becoming a deal that wherever I go, people just want to see me dance. I try and keep it for the end zone, but sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do.

Coach Reid is always going to dial the right plays up. He's a guru.

There were times where I feel like I was just out there thinking too much instead of just playing instinctual football. It's definitely something that I've been trying to work on here, just go out there and let it run.

The biggest thing in terms of route running for me is knowing what the defense is in, knowing the coverage. Once you know the coverage, now you can start manipulating the defense. You can start to kind of trick them in where you're going to go and where you want to get open.

Just being able to incorporate other sports into my game has definitely helped me out.

Being able to get a big body to change direction, I think that's huge. I don't think a lot of tight ends incorporate that enough. I got a lot of that from playing hockey when I was younger, being able to play on the inside and outside of skates, as well as on the basketball court, being able to put my foot into the ground and crossover.

The biggest thing in training camp is you don't always get to see the hitting aspect. Whether a guy is easy to tackle or whether he's brought down easy.

When you see me dancing in the end zone... that's Cleveland Heights.

All I can ask for is the opportunity to go out there and beat a man one on one. If you win your one-on-one matchups in this league, you're going to have a lot of success.

I think the tight end position is so unique because you always have a mismatch if you know how to dial it up or use it right.

If you don't care about the guy next to you, one, you're a terrible teammate. Two, you're never gonna win.

When everyone plays and has passion for each other, man, that's when you really have a chance to be great as a team. Without it, I don't know how football even works.

When in doubt, make plays.

All the negatives, the flags for the personal fouls and silly stuff after the play, that takes a toll. People don't want to be a part of that.

I think when you have big-time businesses around that want to be part of the sports community and the athletic community it's a huge advantage in the bigger markets.

That's one of the things about the NFL is that you have small-market teams, big-market teams. I feel like the bigger market teams do kind of have an advantage in terms of off-the-field money.

You play the game to have fun.

Just about everybody in the world thinks the world of George Kittle. He's an unbelievable person with an unbelievable amount of energy. How he plays the game with the tenacity is one of a kind.

Whenever I get the ball in my hands, I just try to get the thing as north as possible and get in the end zone.

Once you have success, you have to maintain success.

Those kind of accolades, the individual accolades are something that you can hang our hat on when it's all said and done.

I'm a firm believer that individual accolades are a bit overrated in this game.

I'm not the same without the 10 other guys on that football field playing their tail off to move the ball down the field.

You have to fight... for your right... to Lombarrdi!

I can't think Kansas City enough for embracing me for who I am, my teammates for fighting every single day.

When I look in my father's eyes, man, I know that I made him proud. As a son, with a father that loves him and believes in him so much, that's the world. It really is.

I love coming to work every single day, and I love being here in Kansas City.

I grew up in the '90s loving the basketball sneakers, and that's where fashion really started for me.

I'm a big '90s basketball fan.

I'm technically the utility guy on the field. Whether you need a plumber or an electrician, man, I'm here for you.

At the tight end position, you're asked to do so many things. You'll see me split out wide singled up like a wide receiver.
