Reid also suggested that the 34-year-old pop star experiences a similar sense of escape when she attends NFL games to support Kelce.
“I said that about Taylor, too,” Reid stated, adding, “I mean, she comes to the game, she can kind of escape having to be the show.”
Reid highlighted Kelce's growing fame, crediting it in part to his highly entertaining 'New Heights' podcast, co-hosted with his brother, Jason Kelce.
"He’s an outgoing guy," Reid continued. "I mean, he comes into a room and he’s going to light the room up. Everybody’s his best friend. Until you prove him wrong, everybody’s a friend."
“As long as they’re ready to go. Training camp is kind of that proving ground. If you’re not ready to go, it’s going to be obvious quickly,” he then remarked on Travis Kelce's ability to stay focused, despite his growing fame.
