Travis Kelce recently spoke his heart out in a sports podcast. From Aaron Rodgers and Super Bowl victories to the Brady vs. Mahomes debate, the tight end went uncut on some hot topics. But one moment might come as vintage to the slightly older NFL fans. The Chiefs TE explained how his pre-game proceedings had a Coach Prime connection.

Although he agreed that he had not been a follower since his Cincinnati days, Kelce credited Deion Sanders for taking him back to college football. Whether in the dressing room or a broadcast, Kelce revealed that he found the rhythm in Deion Sanders’ moves that fired him up.

Deion Sanders’ 29-year-old legend still motivates Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce was only five in 1994, but that hasn’t stopped him from vibing on the song ‘Straight To My Feet’ before his games. The song is a hip-hop classic from the same year’s superhit thriller ‘Street Fighter,’ featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme. More interestingly, the music video featured Colorado Buffaloes’ now-head coach, Deion Sanders, aka Coach Prime, taking his steps to match the beats and even voice a few lines.

In a recent episode of the ‘I Am Athlete’ podcast, co-host Ashley Nicole Moss stated that the song has made Kelce’s pre-game playlist for quite some time. She then asked if that was still the case. In response, Kelce revealed that it was still one of his go-to songs before a game.

Coach Prime effect makes Travis Kelce feel ‘excited’

When the co-host asked about his views on Deion Sanders’ redemption of Colorado Buffaloes and college football, the tight end was even more enthusiastic with the answer.
