“After (Patrick Mahomes) (quarterback), I was asked about it,” Kelce said during an appearance on Kissing with the boys (h/t Awful Announcing). “I – I don’t know. I’d rather just play along, man. I’m already done with the podcast and everything. I’m sick of the reality shit, dude. I’m out of that shit.”

Mahomes appeared in the Netflix documentary series quarterback alongside fellow players Kirk Cousins ​​​​and Marcus Mariota, as the show included a closer look at each passer as he makes his way through the 2022 NFL season.

The players include Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, Davante Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders and Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions. San Francisco 49ers teammates George Kittle and Deebo Samuel will also be in the mix.
