Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs are preparing for a new season where they will seek redemption. Undoubtedly, one of the big question marks is how Travis Kelce will perform at 35 years of age.

Nevertheless, the team’s general manager, Brett Veach, warned that despite being in the final stage of his career, the tight end will show why he is a legend, demonstrating that postponing retirement was the right choice. This all came during an interview with the Kansas City Star.

“You’ll see Travis have more of an impact. Maybe it’s not in production, but it’s the offense overall, which is much different than in the past when it always kind of ran through Kelce.”
