Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is once again in the spotlight, this time due to a resurfaced tweet from 2010. The tweet, which reads “happy easter to all!!! #SHOUTOUT to Jesus for takin one for the team…..haha,” was deleted but widely circulated online around Easter 2025. Kelce has previously addressed his past social media habits, describing them as “unfiltered and impulsive” in a 2023 episode of his podcast “New Heights.” He stated that he used Twitter like a diary and didn’t mean to offend anyone, expressing a desire to delete those posts since becoming a prominent NFL player.
This isn’t the first time Kelce’s old tweets have resurfaced, with previous posts containing misspellings like “squirle” for squirrel and “Chipolte” for Chipotle gaining viral attention. Despite the controversy, Kelce remains focused on his game. After a disappointing 2024 season, where he posted career lows in receiving yards (823) and touchdowns (3), Kelce confirmed he’ll return for the 2025 campaign. The Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles saw the offense struggle, but Kelce dismissed retirement rumors, stating, “I love playing. I still feel like I can play it at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year.”
As the Chiefs prepare for the upcoming season, Kelce’s role remains crucial. The team is looking to reclaim their championship form, and Kelce’s experience and skills will be vital. Despite occasional scrutiny over his past social media posts, Kelce’s dedication to his craft and his team is evident. His commitment to improving and contributing to the Chiefs’ success will likely be a key factor in their future performances.
Kelce’s situation highlights the challenges athletes face with social media scrutiny. As a prominent player, his past and present actions are under constant examination. However, his focus on his game and his team’s success demonstrates his professionalism and commitment to his role. As the NFL season approaches, fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how Kelce and the Chiefs perform, both on and off the field. With Kelce’s determination and the team’s talent, they may be poised for a strong comeback.
