Richard Sherman's Hot Take On The Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Situation

It's not often that athletes enjoy making their personal lives public but a while back on his podcast with his brother Jason, Travis Kelce revealed that he tried to shoot his shoot with Taylor Swift.

The football world kind of laughed and moved on, but this past weekend no one was laughing anymore. There were rumors and reports that Swift would be at the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears, and to the surprise of every football fan and "Swifties" everywhere, they were true. The pop star was spotted in a box with Kelce's mother, and the two were spotted together after the game.

The relationship is certainly one of the more famous ones in sports, with a new joke going around implying that Swift put Kelce on the map. Depending on which circles you find yourself in, this could certainly be true. However, many talking heads in the sports world think a relationship of this magnitude could be a distraction for Kelce, but former Stanford and NFL star Richard Sherman thinks the opposite.

On a recent episode of Undisputed when asked if this is a distraction for the Chiefs, Sherman revealed he doesn't think so. He also explained he believes the relationship is "perfect" and will help Kelce's performance on and off the field.
