Quick Quotes

Q. Travis Kelce making his sixth appearance here at the American Century Championship.

TRAVIS KELCE: It's been six? Golly, it's been so much fun. Time flies when you're having fun. I didn't know it was year six for me.

Q. Describe the experience of actually getting to play in the American Century.

TRAVIS KELCE: I am fortunate they keep asking me to come back. It must be those karaoke contests that keep me coming back, because it's definitely not been my golf. But we'll have some fun today.

I get to play with my brother and The Miz, the Cleveland crew, we'll have some fun out there, and the crowd looks electric. It's always a blast out here in Tahoe.

Q. Speaking of your brother, he's been out there grinding with a launch monitor, khakis on, who is the better golfer out here?

TRAVIS KELCE: I am guaranteed. He's just started picking it up. He has three little girls. He's got something distracting him from the golf course. We'll see how good he hits. I haven't seen him play in about 10 years.

Q. Is he going to get better in retirement?

TRAVIS KELCE: I think so. He's played more golf this year than his entire NFL career. I think this will be his little retirement hobby. We'll see.

Q. Speaking of the NFL. You're about to go try and do something that's never been done, that's win three Super Bowls back to back. No NFL franchise has ever done. Is it possible and who are the new names on the squad that are going to help you get it done?

TRAVIS KELCE: We've got Xavier Worthy. We've got Marquise Brown. We've got some dawgs. We have some unbelievable talent, some great coaches, and obviously the front office that brings it all together. We've got the full arsenal over there in Kansas City.

You've got to revamp the team every single year. You've got to remold the team. Hopefully out in Saint Joe we can get a head start on that. And through the course of the season, as you saw last year, we got better as the season went on. It's going to be a long haul if we get a chance to do it. I'm excited to get back into the football world. It's been a crazy offseason for me, so I'm ready to get back to work.

Q. Is it possible?

TRAVIS KELCE: You know it's possible. Anything's possible. We knew that.

Q. It's been a crazy year for you since the last time we saw you, winning the Super Bowl and everything that's been happening for you off the field. Could you put into words what this year has been like?

TRAVIS KELCE: It's been the funnest year of my life. I can definitely say that. I said that after the Super Bowl when I played my brother and meeting my brother at the mountaintop was the peak of my life. And it just keeps going up and up from there. Who knows, man, who knows where this thing goes if I get a chance to win another one.

Q. Training camp is about to happen soon. Before that, any more plans for backup dancer performances?

TRAVIS KELCE: I can't let anything out of the bag, but right now I'm in full football mode after golf.
