Kansas City Chiefs veteran tight end Travis Kelce appeared at the KC Sports Awards on Tuesday. He was given some time to speak to the crowd after accepting the Polsinelli Sportsman of the Year award, reflecting on his 12 years in the NFL.
In his time on the mic after receiving the Polsinelli Sportsman award, Kelce spoke about his level of freedom in Andy Reid’s offense, which seems to have contributed to his incredible success on the field, having the confidence in making those wild plays that lead to scores.
In wrapping up he also touched on the idea that he won’t always be in the NFL and thanked Kansas City for supporting the Chiefs.
Harold R. Kuntz, a sports anchor at Kansas City’s FOX 4, attended the awards and shared footage of the Hall of Fame tight end to his Twitter account.
