Travis Kelce Shares Truth About Video of Him Spiking Lombardi Trophy

To say Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had fun at the NFL draft in Kansas City seems like an understatement.

Kelce and Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes seemingly worked as unofficial masters of ceremonies for the weekend, acting as the public faces of the Super Bowl champions two months after their 38-35 victory over the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.

However, a widely circulated the video of Kelce spiking the Lombardi Trophy at a music festival he staged adjacent to the draft suggested to some that the Cincinnati product had a little too much fun.

On New Heights, Kelce's podcast with his Philadelphia center brother Jason, Travis clarified precisely what had happened.

"You took that trophy, went straight to the Kelce Jam (music festival). We got video proof and we're gonna play it right now," Jason said. "There's the footage of you desecrating a historied trophy of the NFL in more ways than one. How did it feel to slam an icon?"

"The people are absolutely f---ing ill if you think I would ever disrespect the actual Lombardi Trophy like that," Travis replied, chuckling.

"Travis, you would definitely disrespect the Lombardi Trophy," Jason shot back.

"(It was) 1000% a replica of it, okay?" Travis said. "I have way too much respect for the game, the history of the game."

There you have it: despite the Chiefs' best efforts after their second title in four years, the Lombardi Trophy appears to remain intact.
