Travis Kelce will return for a 13th NFL season, and one of his teammates has claimed to be responsible for convincing him to keep playing.
Kelce, 35, retired after the loss of the Chiefs against the Eagles in the Super Bowl, which was largely anonymous with only four trapped for 39 yards.
Finally, he decided to return to Kansas City, and the receptor of the Chiefs Rashee Rice has been attributed to that call.
“I'm not going to lie to everyone, I'm 95 percent of the reason why he doesn't retire,” he said Sports of Revueltas.
'He told him that he couldn't leave. I will make sure we get it next year. It was Finna to hang it. I'm quite sure I was going to hang it. And I say, 'brother, we can't go out like that.' '
While Rice is only 24 years old, the 40-22 defeat of the bosses at the Super Bowl Lix could have been the last game of Kelce's career.

Speaking in his New heights Podcast with his brother Jason after the game, Kelce said he was not completely concentrated in New Orleans.
'I feel that I owe the boys to enter that building with much more effort and focus. I just don't know what was during that man, I wasn't at my best moment, “he said.
'The more I see clips or I look at the movie and I put me back in those moments, man, I am like' what the shit '' '.
