Kelce: Secret Service threatened to tase me during White House visit

Travis Kelce wasn't kidding about getting a warning from the Secret Service during the Kansas City Chiefs' trip to the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LVII victory.

The Chiefs tight end was invited to join President Joe Biden at the podium during Friday's visit, but kept his remarks short, saying, "They told me if I came up here, I'd get tased."

While it seemed like a joke at the time, Kelce clarified that it wasn't on the latest episode of his "New Heights" podcast.

"When I walked in, we had about four or five Secret Service members come up to me and tell me, 'You know, if you go up to that podium, we're authorized to tase you,'" Kelce recounted to brother Jason Kelce.

Travis stole the microphone during the Chiefs' White House visit last year and was able to get a few words out before teammate Patrick Mahomes pulled him away.

Because of the warning he received this year, he made sure to be on his best behavior.

"So that's all that was going through my head," he said. "I had no idea President Biden was gonna ask me to come up and let me have my moment ... and I felt (a) Taser aimed at me when I was up there the whole time. That's why I was up there (like), 'Don't make any quick movements. Be cool.'"
