Taylor Swift Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

This certainly has not been an easy year for Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce as he had to balance a new and extremely high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift with all of the stresses and demands that come along with being a star player on the defending Super Bowl champion team. But Kelce handled it saw well that it actually drew admiration from his teammates.

This week, teammate Blake Bell, who plays the same position as Travis Kelce and works closely with him every day at practice, expressed his admiration for the way that Travis Kelce was able to handle this season even as things got a little bit crazy for him at times.

“With all the stuff going on, he wants to make sure everyone knows he’s there for football, there to win and there to win another Super Bowl,” Bell said this week according to ESPN. “I admire that.”

Obviously, Kelce was able to handle everything well enough as despite all the attention and his newfound relationship, he was still able to help lead his team to a second consecutive Super Bowl – and he had Swift supporting him in the stands and in his life the whole way.
