The Chiefs’ wide receivers are showing some love to their teammate Travis Kelce!
Ahead of the Kansas City football team’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Inglewood, Calif., on Sunday, Sept. 29, Rashee Rice enlisted fellow wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman Jr. to wear some custom T-shirts during the pregame warm-up.
In photos shared by CBS Sports, the three can be seen sporting black shirts printed with images of Travis, 34. The front of the shirts said “Travis Kelce,” and the back read “Dreamathon” for the company that makes the custom apparel. Hardman previously wore a similar looking shirt when the Chiefs played the Chargers back in 2022.
CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson reported in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that Rice, 24, got the shirts “for all the WRs to honor their leader and a guy who has mentored all of them.”
The wide receivers’ support for Travis comes amid criticism over the tight end’s performance on the field since the 2024-2025 NFL season kicked off on Sept. 5. The negative commentary intensified after he logged only 30 receiving yards in the Chiefs’ win last week over the Atlanta Falcons.
This isn’t the first time the Chiefs squad has brought out some custom T-shirts to support a teammate. Players previously wore Dreamathon shirts in support of running back Isiah Pacheco after he was injured earlier this month, per NBC Sports.
This week, Travis addressed the criticism surrounding his slow start to the season during an episode of his New Heights podcast with brother and Philadelphia Eagles alum Jason Kelce.
“Pat said it. Coach Reed said it. You know, we’re finding ways to win games, and we’re not playing our best football,” Travis said. “Everybody can clean it up. I think everyone saw my drop on in the Q4, that crucial third down, just trying to do too much before putting the ball away.”
