Kelce chugs beer from Vince Lombardi Trophy before spiking silverware

Chiefs beat Eagles to win Super Bowl – Andrew Gamble reports

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce chugged a beer off a replica Vince Lombardi Trophy before spiking it at his special NFL Draft event which featured artists Machine Gun Kelly and Rick Ross. Kelce was part of a star-studded Chiefs team that won this year’s Super Bowl, where they beat the Philadelphia Eagles, the team of his brother Jason.

The 33-year-old announced the event early last month, hoping to do one better than Rob Gronkowski, who hosted a Gronk Beach bash in Las Vegas last year for the NFL Draft. Fans packed out the Azura Amphitheater on Friday, catching a glimpse of Kelce, some of his Kansas teammates, as well as artists MGK and Rick Ross. 

Kelce is one of the NFL’s most entertaining draws and is capitalising on his surging popularity. In March, the Chiefs star managed to host Saturday Night Live, but took entertainment to a new level at the festival.

Kelce chugged a beer off a replica Vince Lombardi Trophy before smashing it off the stage, much to the crowd’s delight. However, others weren’t left as impressed, and the eight-time Pro Bowler has even come under criticism for his actions. 

Some have accused Kelce of trying to copy Gronkowski, who famously used the real trophy to take a swing at a baseball. Gronkowski used the trophy as a bat in 2019 when celebrating New England’s sixth Super Bowl victory at Fenway Park after beating the Los Angeles Rams. 

The clang as the ball hit the trophy left onlookers in shock. “It sounded exactly what you think a baseball hitting the Lombardi Trophy would sound like,” former Patriots offensive lineman Ted Karras said.

Kelce is entering his eleventh season with the Chiefs and will hope to win a third Super Bowl with the franchise. Kelce had a career-high 110 catches for 1,338 yards and 12 touchdowns last season, and was named a First-Team All-Pro.

He has three years left on his deal in Kansas after signing a monster four-year extension in 2020. Kelce could be a potential unrestricted free agent in 2026.
