Travis Kelce says he’s played better since growing ‘rugged’ beard: ‘I feel the power of it’

Forget about Travis Kelce’s haircut — it’s time to talk about that beard.

On the latest installment of his podcast, “New Heights,” the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end touched on the topic while speaking with his co-host brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, 36.

“Man, by the way, what’s going on with the beard right now?” the elder Kelce questioned, pointing to the big “yeti”-like hair on his younger brother’s face that has been appearing lately.

“We’re growing it,” Travis replied. “Getting to work on that.”

The NFL pro, who is currently preparing to play against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl on Sunday, admitted that he hasn’t shaved his beard since “before Christmas” — a fact that led Jason to ask if it It’s Travis. “Playoff beard” or “a tribute to your hockey roots?”

“My hockey roots,” Travis replied. “It’s also a song about loving the ups and downs of the season.”

The two-time Super Bowl champion revealed that every time he looks in the mirror, he feels “gross.”

He added, “Like I’m working for something.” “Like I’m focused on something. Like I’m working toward getting things done.

Jason, who famously sports a large beard, couldn’t help but agree and said, “It’s a working man’s beard.”

For more Page Six style…

The Chiefs player, who is currently dating superstar singer Taylor Swift, revealed he can really “feel the strength of it”, crediting his grown beard for helping him with the game.

“I’ve been playing a lot better since I moved it up,” he said, before the older Kelce pointed to Travis’ impressive playoff statistics as proof.

The conversation ultimately ended where it began: speaking about Travis’ buzzcut fade haircut, which was recently labeled the “Travis Kells haircut” in a New York Times article, which claimed that People across the country started asking barbershops about the football player’s look.

“Yeah, can you guys stop telling people I invented the Fed?” Travis asked, presumably addressing reporters and fans. “I did not do it. I went into the barber shop one day, not even knowing what I was getting. I didn’t invent the Fed.

He responded to the first article, calling the claim “absolutely ridiculous”.
