NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The amount of spotlight Travis Kelce has to deal with can be blinding for many, but the NFL star knows how to handle it.

In his appearance on ABC’s ‘Good Morning America', the Kansas City Chiefs star talked about his newfound fame. 

"When you have good family and friends around you, it makes that aspect in life that much easier," Kelce said in the show on Thursday, June 6.

"I’ve always been a very grounded guy. It might not come off like that when I’m playing football but off the field, I just want to be a genuine person," the 34-year-old said.

"I try not to get too far down the road because you just never know when opportunities are going to present themselves," he added.
