Travis Klece has certainly become known for being a very funny, charismatic, and characterful person. That’s why it isn’t surprising that he spent so much money on this ridiculous item with his first NFL paycheck.

 

When Kelce first entered the league, he was a third-round pick and earned himself a four-year, $3.12 million contract with a signing bonus of just over $700,000.

Recently, Kylie Kelce, the wife of his brother Jason, revealed on 94 WIP in Philadelphia that Travis had bought a pair of Marty McFly shoes worn in the Back to the Future movie.


“Early on when we were dating, Travis came into town, I think with the Marty McFly shoes,” Kylie said.

“I didn’t have the chance to meet Travis that time, but Jason told me, after the fact, how much of a hard time he gave Travis after Travis divulged how much he spent on the shoes.” she continued.

Of course, at the time, Travis was just 23 years old, so a reckless and almost comical purchase like this was almost expected to happen.

Now, though, it’s certainly not a purchase that has hurt him in the long run, as Travis has become one of the highest-paid tight ends of all time, with career earnings of $76.9 million, and is set to make a salary of $17 million in 2024.

 

Travis Kelce Looks To Get Back To 1,000 Yard Mark

Travis Kelce has the most 1,000-receiving-yard seasons of all time with seven, and the next closest is Rob Gronkowski, who achieved the feat just four times.

All seven of those seasons came between 2016 and 2022 until he ultimately came up short in 2023 with just 984 yards. However, at 34 years old, he still seems to have a bit in the tank and could bring that total to eight in 2024.
