ESPN star warns Chiefs' Travis Kelce about turning into 'diminishing player' ahead of eventual retirement

Symba, the Bay Area rapper and sports enthusiast, joins ‘Speak’ to reveal his Super Bowl prediction. From his take on the biggest game of the year to insights on the players and matchups, Symba dives into which team he believes will take the title.

The Kansas City Chiefs' bid for a third consecutive Super Bowl title came to an abrupt end Sunday. The Chiefs' offense was mostly ineffective against the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. 

Patrick Mahomes was sacked six times and finished the game with 257 passing yards. Travis Kelce, one of Mahomes' most trusted targets, accounted for just 39 of those yards. 

The Super Bowl loss also brought Kelce's 12th NFL season to a disappointing end. He finished the regular season with 823 receiving yards, which marked the second consecutive year the star tight end did not reach the 1,000-yard receiving mark.

He will also celebrate his 36th birthday during the 2025 season. While Kelce did receive Pro Bowl honors for a tenth straight year and remains a productive player, his age and lackluster showing in the big game continued to fuel questions about when he may decide to step away from the game.

Last month, during an appearance on "The Stephen A. Smith Show," Kelce admitted his thoughts on retirement tend to fluctuate, but he plans to "reevaluate" during the offseason. As the Chiefs' offseason begins, former NFL player and current ESPN analyst Ryan Clark cited Jason Kelce's dilemma after last season and compared it to his brother's current situation.
