KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If the Chiefs’ offense changes this season to accommodate Travis Kelce, who turns 35 in October, the veteran tight end won’t be having any of it.

“If they did, I probably wouldn’t listen to them,” Kelce said, maybe jokingly, maybe not.

Regardless, Kelce said he feels physically ready for a season like he hasn’t been in years.

“You get more comfortable with your body,” Kelce said. “You learn things from the mistakes you’ve made in the past and stuff like that. You just get better and better and you get more aware of where your body is.

“I’m excited. I can play football for another year (with a) fresh start. I can prove to ourselves and Chiefs Kingdom that we belong to the top and can play at a high level.”

Kelce joined the Chiefs as a third-round draft pick in 2013. Despite having a wider range of career options outside of football, including acting roles and a deal with Amazon’s Wondery reportedly worth more than $100 million for the “New Heights” podcast he co-hosts with his brother Jason, Kelce said he hasn’t lost any of his enthusiasm for football.

“I just love coming in here (and) I just love football and how it takes me away from life,” Kelce said. “It gives me something to be really excited about. I love coming into the building, working on my craft, understanding a new game plan and perfecting it for the people around me. (It) gives me a purpose to go through my day and live my life and I’m so excited to do that.

“I’m forever fortunate to be able to play as many games as I’ve played in this league and that’s why I really enjoy going out there every day, even if it’s just a practice to really work on my craft. I know not everyone has that kind of luck in their career and I’m ready to rock Week 1 and I’m grateful for it.”
