Kansas City Chiefs are riding high on their Super Bowl LVII victory. With players like QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce, the Chiefs Kingdom will be looking forward to achieving more Super Bowl laurels in the coming days. But for Travis Kelce, there was another moment this year that was a hidden secret dream he was waiting to accomplish in his life.

Winning the highest prize in the NFL is a surreal moment for any football player. And the Chiefs will look forward to continuing their winning momentum in the new season with a new roster to play. While winning 2 Super Bowls may be an achievement in itself, the TE revealed that taking part in this particular secret dream was more nerve-wracking than appearing in two Super Bowls.

In a recent episode of ‘The Steam Room’, Ernie and Chuck questioned the 2x Super Bowl-winning TE about how different was it hosting the SNL from playing in a Super Bowl. Answering this question, Travis Kelce took a deep breath and said, “It was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. It’s hard for me to say that it wasn’t like the coolest thing I’ve ever done. Because playing in two Super Bowl has always been my dream. But secretly, being on SNL has always been a dream of mine.”

Further talking about the final rehearsal before the live show, Kelce said, “The dress rehearsal, right before the actual live show, man I was shaking. I really don’t get too nervous. I get more excited for opportunities than I get nervous about opportunities. And man I was in my head about it all.”
