Travis Kelce has stepped up his preparations for the new NFL season by filming his new media introductions ahead of Kansas City's shot at the three-peat.

The Chiefs held a media day this week where their players filmed their new intros for when they are announced at stadiums and on television, and Kelce looked every inch the confident figure he is known for in the photoshoot.

The 34-year-old was pictured posing for the cameras for several pictures before doing his 'archer' pose for the camera, which he usually does when he enters the stadium.

And despite what some Taylor Swift fans think, Kelce is not tipping his hat to his girlfriend with his gesture - even though she has a famous song called 'the archer'.

Speaking on his New Heights podcast last year, he told his brother Jason: 'I do the 'archer' pose when I enter the stadium because I wanted to do something when I ran out of the tunnel and I'm like, you know what is motivational to me, is shooting up for the stars. baby.

'One of my favorite quotes is from Deion Sanders, PrimeTime. He says "if you're dreams aren't bigger than you then there is a problem with your dreams". Dream big, ladies and gentlemen.'

It has been a busy offseason for Kelce - who has flown around the world to see Swift on her Eras Tour, as well as filming his own TV show and recently, a commercial alongside Olivia Dunne. 

He also signed a new Chiefs deal in the offseason after a magnificent 2023 campaign, where he played a central role in Kansas City's second straight Super Bowl triumph. 

His new two-year deal is worth $34million and makes him the best paid tight end in the NFL.

The Chiefs hold a two-day minicamp starting Tuesday as preparations builds for the season opening game against the Baltimore Ravens on September 5.

Kelce and his team won February's Super Bowl 25-22 in overtime against San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas.

In 2023, the Chiefs emerged victorious against Philadelphia Eagles and Travis' brother Jason, winning 38-35 in Phoenix.
