A decade-old video of now Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has recently resurfaced showing the young sportsman attempt to impess scouts from the National Football Association (NFL).
The footage of the now-Chiefs tight end was recorded in March 2013 on Pro Day at Cincinnati with scouts from the New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals, and Green Bay Packers, and Carolina Panthers seen in the video.
The Kansas City Chiefs were likely present at kelce’s Pro Day, despite not being prominently featured on his highlight reel. However, the young stud was drafted by his current team in the third round of the NFL Draft 2013.
Kelce’s Pro Day highlight reel was posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, by Cincinnati football’s official account ahead of the “New Heights” live show on April 11 in Cincinnati’s home turf, Nippert Stadium.
“New Heights” is the name of the popular podcast hosted by Travis and his brother and former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, both Bearcat alumni.
More than a decade before bagging his third NFL Super Bowl, Kelce participated in the 40-yard dash, broad jump, and several other combine drills.
“I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into, I hadn’t rally seen a tight end workout,” Kelce said during his Pro Day. “It was fun and it was exciting, glad the experience is over. Now I can work on getting my body full strength and getting ready for actual football season.”
At the end of the video, Kelce said that his next steps were to possibly take part in individual workouts and meetings with teams.
“I’m a competitor at heart and to come out here and represent Cincinnati the way I did, it was fun and it was an exciting day for me,” Kelce added in 2013.
