News Update: “Ed Kelce blessings and last wish was for Travis Kelce to marry Taylor Swift,” Travis Kelce tearfully announces as he shares the passing and blessings received from his father, Ed Kelce…
Travis Kelce was in the front row getting emotional as well.
Travis, wearing a pair of black sunglasses, couldn’t keep his emotions under the shades. Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com caught video of him wiping his eyes as well as their mother,
Donna, teary-eyed next to him. Jason mentioned Travis during his speech, reflecting on the moment he heard the Chiefs drafted him. “And my brother receiving the call and him being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs,” Jason said as he and Travis both got emotional. “This time, the tears down both my father and I’s face as my brother realized his own [dream].”
Of course, their father, Ed Kelce, and Jason’s wife, Kylie, were also present with many others as the All-Pro center fought back his emotions while making a 45-minute speech at the podium. There were times Jason had to totally regroup, as he couldn’t help but cry in this bittersweet moment. As brothers do, Jason and Travis continuously supported one another, even though they weren’t on the same team. That was even the case in Super Bowl LVII when the Eagles and Chiefs played against each other. When Jason finished his speech, he walked off the stage and immediately gave a huge bear hug to Travis before doing the same with each member of his family.
It goes without saying the impact Jason has had on the Philadelphia community on and off the field. The accolades of seven Pro Bowls and six All-Pro nods to go along with a Super Bowl title during the 2017 campaign has him pegged for the Pro Football Hall of Fame one day.
