Travis Kelce is opening up about what happened when he got suspended.
The 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end addressed his University of Cincinnati suspension from football after he failed a drug test on an episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast.
During a conversation about the 2025 NFL draft, Jason reflected on Travis being picked in the third round of the draft in 2013.

“The funny thing about Trav is that there was nothing outside of the injuries. I guess you had two things,” Jason said.
“You had a few injuries, and then you obviously had the marijuana thing stemming from your sophomore year.”
Travis was suspended from playing his sophomore year after he failed his drug test.
He joked to Jason: “You saying ‘marijuana’ makes it sound so more intense. Why does that word sound so intense?”
“You probably got drafted an entire round later than you should have,” Jason said.
“I just think it’s funny sometimes looking back and, like, there are all these concerns about Travis Kelce and, like, everybody whoever knew you knew you were a great kid. You just had, like, a mess up with weed. Sorry. And then all of a sudden, like, teams aren’t picking you for it.”
“We’re gonna act like this is a death sentence?” he went on, to which Travis jokingly replied, “Yeah, we are.”
Travis said the draft still “worked out perfect.”
“I just want everybody that drops in the draft for whatever character concerns, if it ever pans out, they should just do that exact same character concern,” Jason went on to say.
“Like, you should have just walked into signing your second deal with a blunt in your hand smoking it as a sign of the paper.”
“I’m not condoning smoking weed, but unless you sign a multimillion-year deal you wanna say ‘f–k you’ to all the people that doubted you because you did smoke weed,” he added.
