As it would be for any player, a Super Bowl win is an emotional milestone in an NFL career. These players have been working their entire lives for that moment, and it’s awesome to see them share the celebration with their loved ones.
That was certainly on display when Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce found his dad amid the post-Super Bowl 54 crowd and shared an incredible on-field moment.
Once Kelce spotted his dad, Ed, he yelled, “Papa!” And went on to give his father a huge hug, but the moment was especially great when Kelce’s dad told him just how proud he was.
“Never, ever really got the recognition you deserved.”
Now, @tkelce is a World Champion. 🏆@Chiefs pic.twitter.com/pgcZAWuJbj— NFL Films (@NFLFilms) February 5, 2020
Ed Kelce said in the Super Bowl edition of Inside the NFL:
“I’m so happy for you. You’ve worked so hard all your life. Never ever really got the recognition you deserved.”
What a moment.
And now he’s a Super Bowl champion who caught the rally-sparking touchdown pass. Not bad, Travis.
