On Thursday, ESPN’s Pat McAfee claimed that Kelce will return for his 13th season in the NFL after contemplating retirement.
The former NFL punter-turned-media personality read out an apparent text from Kelce, hinting that he would play in 2025.
“I’m coming back, for sure,” Kelce told McAfee in a text. “Gonna try and get to the best shape I’ve been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop.
So after the news, Kelce’s New Heights podcast confirmed the news on X.
The social media account posted a video of a scene from the hit film The Wolf of Wall Street.
Kelce’s head was photoshopped onto Leonardo DiCaprio‘s head, where his characters yelled the iconic line, “I’m not f***ing leaving!” causing the crowd to go berserk.
The clip also included the heads of Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, and owner Clark Hunt all smiling after the announcement as the caption of the post read, “ITS TIME FOR YEAR 13.”
The caption also teased a “full breakdown” of his official decision on next Wednesday’s episode of the podcast, which is also co-hosted by Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce.
Fans praised Kelce and the New Heights social media for the X post.
