Travis Kelce’s 10-Word Response to Chiefs Fan Travis Kelce proved he’s fully locked in on the Kansas City Chiefs’ preseason grind, offering a short but revealing explanation for skipping an autograph request from a young fan during Wednesday’s open training session. As Kelce made his way onto the field at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri, a child’s voice called out, asking, “Travis, can I get your signature?” Instead of ignoring the fan, the All-Pro tight end responded with a focused, but friendly remark: “Let me go learn how to play some football first, alright?” Kelce’s 10-word reply, caught on video and quickly circulated on social media, wasn’t taken as rude. In fact, many fans saw it as a sign of his intense dedication ahead of what could be his final NFL season.

And Kelce — back on the field for the first time since June’s mandatory minicamp — looked in prime shape. Earlier reports noted the 35-year-old had shed 25 pounds during the offseason. And this is in a bid to extend his career and improve agility. While some speculate this could be Kelce’s “last dance” with the Chiefs, Insiders like FOX Sports’ Nick Wright believe a Super Bowl reunion could keep him around longer. Meanwhile, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Kelce intentionally slimmed down after playing heavier in 2024, hoping to keep his edge. The star tight end — who recently made headlines over Donald Trump’s jabs at his girlfriend Taylor Swift — has stayed focused on football. “I love the game, and didn’t really think that hard about retiring,” Kelce told reporters. “I still feel like I have a lot to prove in this league.” Though Kelce couldn’t stop for the fan in that moment, he’s known for interacting with supporters after practice. And he would had likely giving that young fan the autograph they hoped for later in the day. Your All-Access Pass to Scores, Highlights & Breaking Sports News — Follow The Quick Report on MSN.

ESPN Analyst Defends Shedeur Sanders Amid ‘Set Up to Fail’ Claims

Dan Orlovsky Defends Shedeur Sanders Shedeur Sanders is getting his shot with the Cleveland Browns in the preseason opener. But not everyone believes it’s a fair one. While some critics argue that the rookie QB is being “set up to fail,” Dan Orlovsky isn’t having it. The former Colorado standout fell to the fifth round in the 2025 NFL Draft, surprising many who expected him to go earlier. Now part of a crowded Browns quarterback room with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Snoop Huntley. Sanders has a chance to prove himself early. Still, questions have been raised about the number of reps he’s received in training camp. Analysts like Robert Griffin III and Louis Riddick have publicly voiced concern, claiming Cleveland may not be giving Sanders a level playing field.

In a video posted to social media, the ESPN analyst said, “Can we stop with this ‘Shedeur Sanders is being set up to fail’ narrative?” He pointed out that Flacco likely won’t start in Week 1 of preseason due to his veteran status. Meanwhile, Pickett and Gabriel are dealing with hamstring issues and haven’t practiced much. That leaves Sanders and Huntley, and only one of them has been in camp long enough to take the field. “Shedeur has been there,” Orlovsky noted. “It may not be ideal, but very rarely is it for a fifth-round pick. It’s an opportunity.” The situation isn’t perfect, but Sanders now has a real shot to show what he can do. If he performs like he has in practice, he may just shake up Cleveland’s quarterback depth chart, and silence the doubters in the process.
