I still love going to work, putting on the pads, grinding it out and just playing the game,” he said. “My best opportunity was playing for the Chiefs yet again and running this thing back with Pat Mahomes and Coach Reid and got my guy Eric Bieniemy back,” Kelce continued. “There’s a lot of pieces in Kansas City that I just absolutely love and I can’t wait to get back in the building with them.”Charlie Puth says this Taylor Swift lyric inspired his new album — and made him want to ‘open up’
