Noting the prestige, Travis Kelce said, “To be chosen as the team’s Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year is such a great honor. I have so much love for Kansas City and the Chiefs organization, and to be selected once again means everything to me. The opportunity to be involved and help kids through Eighty-Seven & Running and working with Operation Breakthrough, as well as Ignition Lab, has been such a tremendous experience.”
Continuing, he said, “Coming from Cleveland Heights and having a strong support system has taught me the importance of having the right people around, that show up for you and want to see you succeed. Being able to give back to Kansas City and to my hometown, places that have done so much for me, has been a dream come true, and I’ll never take that for granted. Representing the team, the Hunt family, our fans, and my foundation is incredibly special, and I’m very grateful.”
