“I’ve always been a pretty sensible individual. When I play football, it might not look that way.
“But I just want to be a real person off the field. I make an effort not to go too far.
“Because you never know what opportunities are going to present themselves.”
In a statement, Kelce expressed his gratitude for the nomination.
Being nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award is a true honor for me. “It’s very special to have the Chiefs nominate me again because this organization and this city mean so much to me,” Kelce said.
