Travis Kelce returns to Kansas City for OTAs and charity work
After spending the offseason training in Boca Raton, Florida, where he stayed in a lavish $20 million waterfront home at the Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Kelce returned to Kansas City for the third phase of Organized Team Activities (OTAs). But football isn't the only thing on his agenda.
The three-time Super Bowl champ is also committed to Big Slick, an annual event hosted by Kansas City natives Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis, Eric Stonestreet, and others to raise funds for Children's Mercy Hospital.
Kelce has been a crowd favorite at the event in past years, and his presence this time has sparked speculation about a potential Swift appearance.
Taylor Swift's presence in Florida sparks curiosity
While Kelce was training in Florida, fans were curious about whether Swift had joined him. That question was answered when the couple was spotted dining at Harry's Bar & Restaurant in West Palm Beach. A source told People magazine that Swift is staying in Miami 'to support and spend time' with Kelce as he prepares for the 2025 season.
'Travis was working on Friday before his dinner date with Taylor. He left early to go meet her,' the source added.
Though her name isn't officially listed among the celebrity guests, The Kansas City Star reported there may be 'opportunities for Swift to quietly take part this weekend.' The possibility is more than just wishful thinking for fans — Swift previously visited Children's Mercy Hospital in December after wrapping up her Eras Tour.

NFL analyst explains 'real reason' Patrick Mahomes' explosive deep passes aren't the same anymore
Patrick Mahomes' explosive passing plays have slowed down, says analyst. Patrick Mahomes' explosive passing plays have slowed down, says analyst. Patrick Mahomes' explosive passing plays have slowed down, says analyst. Patrick Mahomes' explosive passing plays have slowed down, says analyst. Patrick Mahomes' explosive passing plays have slowed down, says analyst. 1 2 The Kansas City Chiefs have remained a model of consistency in the NFL , but their offense no longer packs the same explosive punch it once did. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes , once feared for his deep-ball prowess and highlight-reel throws, has seen a noticeable decline in his long-range passing. Even with two Super Bowl titles in the last three years and a 15-win regular season just behind them, it's clear the offensive dynamic has changed a fair bit. The Kansas City Chiefs' offensive style is changing — and Patrick Mahomes' deep-pass magic is fading Rewind to 2022 and the Chiefs were electric. Patrick Mahomes threw for over 5,000 yards and 41 touchdowns en route to the coveted MVP title. Kansas City's offense set the tone every game, torching defenses with explosive plays. But those fireworks have long fizzled. In 2023 and 2024, Kansas City's attack turned far more conservative, while the defense stepped up to carry more of the load. Wins are still coming, but they are often gritty, low-scoring battles – a stark contrast to the big-play spectacles fans were once used to. Breaking down what's behind the drop in Mahomes' long throws downfield Patrick Mahomes made his name slinging it deep, often finding targets 20 or more yards downfield with precision. Between 2018 and 2022, he averaged 4.3 deep pass attempts per game, piling up 45 touchdowns to just 12 interceptions. His passer rating on those throws? A stunning 112.3. But things took a turn. In the past two seasons (2023-2024), those attempts dropped to just three per game. The production dropped off a cliff – only four touchdowns, eight interceptions and a steep decline in passer rating to just 47.7. NFL Analyst says there were warning signs in 2022 NFL analyst Nick Wright took a closer look at this regression during an interview – and believes the warning signs were already visible during Mahomes' second MVP run. 'He kind of stopped throwing deep in 2022, the year he won league MVP, because there was so much run-after-catch stuff. The 2023 it seems like gets chalked up to drops, and nobody cared anyway because they won the Super Bowl. Last year, for me, was the perfect storm of sucking in the deep passing game. ' Mahomes: "Got to be better at throwing down the field," is NFC Eagles to lose? | FIRST THINGS FIRST So what does all of this mean moving forward? The Kansas Chiefs are still very much a contender, with Patrick Mahomes leading the way and a stout defense backing him up. But the days of him launching 60-yard bombs every week may be behind us – at least for now. FAQs Q: Why has Patrick Mahomes stopped throwing deep as often? A: Several factors are at play, including offensive scheme changes and a greater reliance on short passes and yards after the catch. Q: Is Mahomes still playing at an MVP level? A: While he remains elite, his deep passing stats have significantly declined compared to his earlier MVP seasons. Q: Are the Chiefs still a top NFL team despite this change? A: Yes -- they have won a Super Bowl and 15 regular-season games recently, showing they can adapt and win in different ways.

Travis Kelce's dad gushes over Taylor Swift, says she's very ‘special' and genuinely caring
Travis Kelce 's father, Ed Kelce, is offering heartfelt praise for his son's girlfriend, Taylor Swift , calling her 'a very special person' and 'one of the most giving and caring people' he's ever met. Two years into the high-profile relationship between the NFL star and the global music icon, Ed admits the attention around it still feels borderline surreal. Speaking recently from the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, Ed reflected on how life has changed for the Kelce family and how Swift has seamlessly become part of it, all while staying down to earth despite her massive fame. Taylor Swift's kindness left a lasting impression on Ed Kelce Ed Kelce's admiration for Swift began the very first time they met, ironically, a moment when he didn't even recognize her. But that quickly changed. Reflecting on an encounter during a Kansas City Chiefs game in 2023, Ed recalled how Taylor surprised him by quietly cleaning up empty bottles and plates in their Arrowhead Stadium suite. 'She didn't get the diva memo,' he told People. 'She's very genuine.' That simple act stood out to Ed as proof of Swift's humility and grounded nature, especially striking given her superstar status. In his recent chat with the Daily Mail, Ed doubled down on his appreciation, calling Taylor 'a very special person' and praising her for being exceptionally giving and caring. A new normal for the Kelce family in Swift's spotlight The Kelces recently reunited at the American Century Championship, a celebrity golf event in Lake Tahoe that has become something of a summer tradition for the family. This year, the crowds were even bigger, thanks in no small part to the couple's headline-making relationship. Ed, 74, spent time there with both his sons, Travis and Jason, and said the attention their family now receives is pretty crazy when he stops to think about it. Yet through it all, he says Swift fits in like one of the family. With Jason returning to his broadcast role and Travis preparing for his 13th NFL season, Ed seems content watching his sons succeed and genuinely touched by the kindness Taylor brings into their lives.
