Travis Kelce's 2013 draft photo sparks humorous reactions

Travis Kelce, a star NFL player, looked very different in a throwback photo from 2013. The NFL shared this photo as they prepare for next month's draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Kelce was picked by the Kansas City Chiefs as the 63rd overall selection in that year's draft. His name was announced by former Chiefs player Gary Barbaro. In the photo, Kelce, then 23, wore a shirt and tie, showing off his clean-cut look. He was listed at just under 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighed 255 pounds. Fans reacted to the NFL's post on Instagram with humorous comments. One person said he looked "like a truck driver." Others joked about his size and speed, with one remarking sarcastically that he might be a bust. Since being drafted, Kelce has become one of the best tight ends in NFL history. He has won three Super Bowls, made ten Pro Bowls, and holds the NFL record for the most postseason receptions with 174. He has also achieved seven straight seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards. As he returns for the 2025 season, Kelce is looking to bounce back after a tough Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He recently updated his look with a trim from celebrity barber Vince Garcia, all while wearing a Chiefs gown.
