Chiefs Coach Andy Reid Rejects AI Video Rumors on Travis Kelce's Shape

An AI‑generated video that made it appear Travis Kelce had gained weight circulated on social media as the Kansas City Chiefs began training camp. Fans and media outlets shared the clip, prompting speculation that the veteran tight end returned out of shape.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed the rumor in an interview with NFL Network, stating Kelce “came back in good shape” and looks the same as always. Reid praised Kelce’s effort, saying he is “playing like crazy” and remains focused for his 14th season. The Athletic’s Jesse Newell also posted unedited footage from camp to counter the fake video.

The discussion followed Kelce’s high‑profile marriage to Taylor Swift and the team’s July 29 camp start, but Reid’s comments clarified that the AI video did not reflect the player’s actual condition.
