‘I’ve thrown that thing in the trash’

Shake it off Chiefs fans — Travis Kelce has.

Entering his 13th NFL season, the future Hall of Famer knows all too well what it takes to win a Super Bowl, and sulking over last season’s Super Bowl loss isn’t going to fulfill the prophecy.

It’s August now, the cruel summer off from football is over and Kelce’s looking to fill a blank space on his trophy shelf with a fourth Super Bowl win.

“I’ve thrown that thing in the trash,” Kelce said of the Chiefs’ blowout Super Bowl loss in February, according to ESPN on Wednesday. “I’ve moved on. It happened sooner than you can imagine. I was pretty focused on this year in the offseason.”

Kansas City’s loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX was an ugly one, as Philadelphia throttled the Chiefs en route to a 40-22 win, leading by 34-0 at one point.

The manhandling halted a Chiefs three-peat and sent retirement rumors swirling surrounding the 35-year-old Kelce.

But clearly the tight end sees some fight left in him and his team as he elected to return and is reportedly in tip-top shape at training camp.

“He’s svelte right now. He looks like he’s 20,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said two weeks ago. “He’s doing a good job and he’s in great shape. I’m not sure he didn’t come in first on the whole conditioning thing. He was right up front. You can see he’s been working out. He’s worked hard to get to this spot.”

And after an offseason of what surely had some luxurious vacationing with his girlfriend Taylor Swift, Kelce is happy to be back on Missouri Western State University’s campus where players stay through training camp.

“I love it here,” Kelce said. “It gets me away from everything else that’s going on in this crazy world. You can really just focus in on your craft and focus in on being the best you can for the guys around you, man.

“Football has always been the biggest driving force I’ve ever had. I love coming out here and focusing on this and getting better for another run at hopefully a Super Bowl.”
