Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has some unfortunate history with the city of New Orleans as Super Bowl LIX awaits him.
When he hosted “Saturday Night Live” in 2023, Kelce referenced a moment in college that got him in serious trouble.
His back moments include a 2010 suspension from the Cincinnati Bearcats’ football team after a positive test of marijuana.
The Cincinnati Football team was in New Orleans to face the Florida Gators in the Sugar Bowl as the Bearcats were riding a 12-0 record into the matchup.
Due to his failed drug test, Travis Kelce was forced to not play.
The former two-star recruit coming out of high school ended up losing his scholarship and was essentially kicked out.
He would then rejoin the team but as a walk-on. He would also make the decision to switch position since three quarterbacks were ahead of him on the depth chart.

That decision would change the course of history as we know it.
“I got kicked out of college because of (that incident),” Kelce said during an appearance on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast in July 2023. “I partied a little too much down there, got hit with a drug test, and from that point on, I realized I’ve got to tighten the (expletive) up.
He added: “What it did was it really kicked me into the tight end room. I was still playing QB then. It was like, ‘All right, you can come walk on the team, but we don’t need a quarterback. You can just be an athlete on scout team for a year; we’ll figure it out.'”
