Hilarious Travis Kelce footage shows Kansas City Chiefs superstar being his unique self as Happy Gilmore 2 role emerges
Travis Kelce's world domination tour shows no signs of stopping.
While girlfriend Taylor Swift recently completed her historic run of eight sold-out concerts at London's Wembley Stadium, Kelce is preparing for the Kansas City Chiefs' attempt to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.

For the fun-loving Chiefs tight end, that preparation includes a planned role in Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore 2 movie and a hilarious training camp video that highlighted the joys of Kelce wearing a live microphone.
"Hey, flying around, baby," Kelce said. "Full speed."
As Patrick Mahomes and the reigning Super Bowl champs ran through a practice, Kelce laughed, joked and screamed like only Kelce can - and the Chiefs were only too happy to share.
He sprinted across the middle of the field, caught sharp passes and stretched out his hamstrings, as a 34-year-old moving closer to the top of the list for career receiving yards for a tight end.

"Ooo, hamstrings aren't too bad," Kelce said.
Then the nine-time Pro Bowler -- who has multiple movie offers -- lifted a leg in the air.
"Don't speak too soon there, bud," Kelce said.
Wearing a heavily padded protective helmet and red Chiefs jersey, Mahomes' teammate - and now boyfriend of one of the planet's most famous women - sounded more like a wide-eyed rookie than a grizzled 12-year veteran.

Kelce clearly enjoyed his time wearing a live mic, and he allowed others to join in on the fun.
"You ever been on TV?" a waving Kelce asked a teammate. "Say hi to mom."

Sandler was asked about Kelce on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and didn't hold back.
The famous comedian is planning to make a Happy Gilmore sequel, 28 years after the original hit the screen.
With Kelce on top of the world, it's perfect timing for a cameo, not least because three-time Super Bowl winner Kelce floated the idea on his 'New Heights' podcast alongside brother Jason.

"We have a nice something for Travis," Sandler said. "He's going to come by.
"He's a very nice guy -- you guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy."
Happy Gilmore is a comedic cult classic starring Sandler, who evolves from a ill-tempered hockey player into a uniquely talented golfer competing in a prestigious tournament to save his grandmother's house.
Kelce has 907 career catches for 11,328 yards and 74 TDs to go with his three Super Bowls and four All-Pro selections.
Mahomes vs Jackson will receive a huge NFL spotlight for Week 1, especially if Swift is part of the Chiefs' crowd again.
