Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce has credited napping to his NFL success ahead of this Sunday’s Super Bowl.
Ahead of this weekend’s Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce discussed a range of topics with the media including the biggest component to success.
The 33-year-old hailed naps for his remarkable career in the league, taking them regularly throughout the day to gain valuable rest.
“I feel like the biggest thing is just to take naps. You’ve gotta find a way to get rest, both mentally, physically. And I find my little catnaps — little 45-to-an-hour naps throughout the day. It helps me kind of recharge and stay focused on the task at hand.”
Kelce said he’d already had a nap by the time his media session started on Tuesday morning.
“And it’s not even noon,” he joked.

Kelce is the Vegas favorite to score the first touchdown (+600), last touchdown (+600) and anytime touchdown (-110) in Sunday’s showdown at the University of Phoenix Stadium.
The eight-time Pro Bowler also leads the way in multi touchdown scorers, priced at +425 to score two or more ahead of Miles Sanders (+475), Jalen Hurts (+600) and AJ Brown (+700).
