Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has revealed that he turned down an approach from streaming platform Netflix to make a documentary series titled ‘Receiver’.
There is a recent trend of sports documentaries and reality TV shows with Netflix’s Drive to Survive, following multiple Formula 1 seasons, perhaps being the best example.
According to Kelce, though, he has no interest in appearing in this sort of program.
“After [Patrick Mahomes] did [Quarterback], I did get asked about it,” Kelce said during an appearance on Bussin’ with the Boys.
“I just, I don’t know. I’d rather just play ball, man. I’m already doing enough with the podcast and everything. I’m way over the reality s–t, dude. I’m out on that s–t.”
Kelce swerves Netflix show
The show with Mahomes followed the 2022 NFL season and it also featured the likes of Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota.
There will be plenty of big names appearing in Receiver, but Kelce is not going to be one of them which is surely a blow to Netflix given his highly publicized relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.
That relationship has led him to do a lot of travelling recently as he tries to attend as many of Swift’s Eras Tour shows as he can, so he may not want the extra diary commitments.
The players include Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders, and Amon-Ra St.
Brown of the Detroit Lions. San Francisco 49ers teammates George Kittle and Deebo Samuel are also making appearances.
