The Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast with Shannon Sharpe that he spent his entire rookie contract, while cautioning others not to follow in his footsteps.
“I spent it all, Shannon. I should’ve been on the ’30 for 30: Broke,’” he said. “… All the young guys in the league, all the guys that have the opportunity to get that big first check from the NFL – save it, man.

Kelce revealed his first big purchases included a pair of self-lacing Nike Mag sneakers and a Rolex watch.

“Man, I was walking in this empty apartment with some Marty McFlys on and a Rolex,” he said. “I felt like the coolest guy in the world, man.”
