Travis Kelce just won the third Super Bowl of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs. It was another epic performance alongside Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid to beat the San Francisco 49ers.
Of course, Kelce has been one of the biggest stories worldwide because of his relationship with Taylor Swift and, as a consequence, his podcast ‘New Heights’ reached amazing levels of audience.
Now, in a surprising revelation for the entire NFL, Travis Kelce admitted the Dallas Cowboys had a lot of interest in drafting him. However, a controversial episode changed the future of two franchises.
