Travis Kelce is no stranger to accolades, but it wasn’t the sixth-year tight end’s All-Pro athleticism that garnered recognition on Friday.
Kelce was named the NFL Players Association Week 2 Community MVP on Friday morning for opening a new robotics lab at Operation Breakthrough, providing a safe space and educational opportunities for underserved kids in the Kansas City area.
“I’ve been around that organization for a while now, and it’s something that’s very dear to my heart,” Kelce said. “Those kids are awesome. The after-school program that they’ve been able to put together for these kids is unbelievable. [When I heard they wanted to] open up a new building, I knew I wanted to help out in some way. They said the robotics team could use a new lab, so I jumped on it as fast as I could.”
