Travis Kelce Voted People’s ‘Sexiest Athlete’

A certain group of fans made sure Travis Kelce joined his brother on ‘People’s annual survery.

In the Readers Choice poll, Travis Kelce edged out several other high-profile athletes, perhaps thanks to Taylor Swift’s devoted Swifties.

The race for sexiest athlete was tight (end), with (from top) Lewis Hamilton, Joe Burrow and Shohei Ohtani all competing at the highest level. But the Kansas City Chiefs star got a last-minute boost in votes — thanks, perhaps, to his very A-list cheering section this fall.

People magazine’s annual “Sexiest Man Alive” honors went to Grey’s Anatomy actor Patrick Dempsey. But People‘s editors included a Kelce brother in that conversation as well, but not the brother you’d expect.

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, with his big beard and lumberjack chic, was a 2023 Sexiest Man Alive finalist! The kind of glamour and celebrity, usually reserved for the NFL’s “skill positions”, bestowed upon one of the giants in the trenches? Surely the football gods are smiling today.

Jason Kelce is still confused about the whole thing. “I’m not even the sexiest guy in my family, let alone the sexiest man alive,” he wondered during an interview. “What are we talking about here?”

The next episode of the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast should be very amusing.
