Travis Kelce doesn't need to pack on as many pounds as Jason Kelce for NFL success. While the older sibling had to elevate his weight to flourish as an offensive lineman, Travis had to slim down after college.
During their latest New Heights podcast, the Kelce brothers promoted an upcoming live show in Cleveland. Jason asked Travis what he's looking forward to doing when they return to their hometown.
Travis shouted out a local pizza place before recalling how much he ate in college.
"I was bigger than you right now," Travis told Jason, who confirmed that his brother was "enormous" back in his younger days. "I was every bit of 285 [lbs.]. I got back down to 250 and won a Super Bowl the next year."
Travis also could have been exaggerating for comedic effect, as Cincinnati listed him at 260 pounds during his senior year. The Chiefs currently have him at 250.
Even at that peak, Travis wasn't as big as Jason last's official playing weight of 295 pounds. However, the recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center is slimming down now that he no longer needs to cultivate enough mass to block the "Tush Push."
Earlier this month, Jason reported his early retirement weight loss in preparation for running a 5K. He hopes to drop to his brother's current size.
"I'm gonna slim down. My goal is 250 pounds," Jason said. "Last week, I got down to like 285 because I knew I was doing this, and then I had cake for three days in a row."
