Travis Kelce’s romance with Taylor Swift is HARMING his NFL career, claims Jason Whitlock

Travis Kelce is becoming less and less effective for the Kansas City Chiefs due to the ‘social pressure’ of being Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, according to Jason Whitlock.

The Chiefs tight end has been dating pop megastar Swift for the best part of a year, with their high-profile romance dominating headlines ever since it became public knowledge last September.

While he did help his team win a second straight Super Bowl last season, many have suggested Kelce, 34, is on the decline as a football player after registering his lowest amount of receiving yards (984) since the 2015 campaign (875).]

He also failed to impress in Kansas City’s opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, pulling down just three catches for 34 yards as the back-to-back Super Bowl champions got off the mark with a 27-20 victory at Arrowhead.

In discussing whether Kelce’s performance against the Ravens was just a bad night or the start of a decline, Whitlock proposed that the stress of dating the world’s most famous singer is becoming too distracting.

The conservative commentator noted on his most recent ‘Fearless’ podcast that Travis has never faced significant injuries in his career and is younger than former Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez, who still made it to the Pro Bowl at 37 years old.

He proceeded to elaborate on his theory regarding Swift to journalist Steve Kim.

Whitlock speculated whether all the extracurricular activities and the stress of being Taylor Swift’s boyfriend could be taking away energy and focus from football.
