The average NFL career last less than four years, so it’s quite an accomplishment when a player enters the league in his early 20s and lasts until his 30s. Thus, most players in their 30s are barraged with questions about when they’ll hang up the cleats.

Travis Kelce, 34, is used to those questions after entering the NFL in 2013. Those questions only got louder and more frequent when his brother, Jason, announced his retirement this offseason after a 13-year career. So, when asked about his future in his 12th year of minicamp with the Kansas City Chiefs this season, Kelce sounded like he’s not ready to turn in his helmet and pads.
