Andy Reid and the Kelce brothers had a blast sharing NFL draft stories, reveling in the excitement and memories of the process
a “New Heights” episode dating back to May 2023, the Kansas City Chiefs star reminisced on his rosy NFL draft days with coach Andy Reid. Kelce and his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, asked Reid what led to each of them being drafted, prompting two very different answers from the Chiefs coach.
During his 14-year stint as head coach of the Eagles, Reid selected Jason Kelce in the sixth round of the 2011 draft. Reid also took Travis two seasons later in Reid’s first year with the Chiefs.
According to Reid, drafting Jason Kelce was an “easy” choice.
“You were a great player,” Reid said of the older Kelce brother on the podcast last May. “A little bit undersized, had tremendous toughness, speed. You were smart, dirty tough.”
As for Travis Kelce, though, Reid had a more critical first impression of the former Cincinnati tight end.
