Peyton Manning had brilliant advice for Chiefs star Travis Kelce's SNL appearance
Travis Kelce is on top of the world right now. He just completed another stellar season in his future Hall of Fame career and won the Super Bowl to top it all off. He also started a successful podcast with his brother during the season.
The true measure of his success comes from Saturday Night Live. The man of the moment often gets to host it, and that's exactly what Kelce did.
When he hosted, he did an exceptional job, but he got a little bit of help from an unlikely source. Not his own teammates or family or friends, but Peyton Manning, the former Super Bowl-winning quarterback and SNL host.
Kelce revealed to his brother on their podcast how Manning helped him with SNL:
“Peyton Manning gave me one word of advice going into it which was which was the best advice that I could get and he said, 'Do just go all in. Just be open minded. Just go all in beyond time.'
"He knew he must knew somebody told him that I'm just terrible with time. I think he just he could just figure it out. I mean, he basically gave me just said just be open, like the show is meant to be absolutely hysterical.”
Kelce was an excellent host for the show and continued to show why he's living his best life right now. Not many NFL players can say they have had a better run of success.
Is Travis Kelce going to the Hall of Fame?
In the history of tight ends, not many have produced more than Travis Kelce. Even if he were to retire right now, he'd likely be voted into the Hall of Fame or at least get very close.
He's widely considered the best tight end of all time. Those who disagree and believe that Rob Gronkowski carries the title will generally at least admit that Kelce is second.
He's arguably been better than Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzales and yes, even Gronkowski. Provided he keeps playing well (and with Patrick Mahomes in town, he will), he's an absolute shoo-in for the Hall of Fame one day.
