Pat McAfee initially praised Travis Kelce for giving a $ 3.3 million donation to the homeless, but the tight end admitted that the report was not true.
The Daily Mail recently released the report that led McAfee to tell its audience on his show last week that Kansas City Chief’s tight end was “to make the world a better place.”
But on his own podcast Kelce said the report was not true.

“I had to make a small statement in the category ‘Don’t Believe Avery You Read, Children’s’, as you see online,” began Kelce. “Some fake claims were thrown out there as I did something in the community that I wasn’t. I don’t even want to talk about it specifically. I don’t want to bring more attention to whole rubbish and article and all that.”
“But if you ever want to know exactly what I’m doing in the community, just go to 87 & Running.org. We are always trying to get out there, get into the Kansas City communities, in the Cleveland community, but this time I did not do what was wrongly claimed by the social channels or business that placed all these AI things.”
Kelce then gave a cry to McAfee himself to “always try to look for guys and women in the sports world.”
The Well Association, Foster Love, has since deleted a post that highlighted Kelce’s supposed donation. It initially claimed that Kelce broke in for a “6,500-foot property” containing “six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a spacious kitchen and plenty of outdoor space, including a garden, patio and fireplace-all together designed to offer a safe and supportive environment.”
“Travis offers housing, mentorship and educational resources, giving these young people the tools they need to move towards independence and break the cycle of homelessness,” the charity said. “It’s inspiring to see @killatrav use his platform to make a real difference for vulnerable youth.”
It is largely speculated that Kelce broke the news of his return to the NFL to McAfee when the Espn host said he got a text from someone he did not named that “I will come back with certainty.”
“Got a really bad taste in my mouth with how I played in the last game and how I got the guys ready for battle !!!!” McAfee read from his phone and suggested that the text was from Kelce.

McAfee then added in his own words, “I think you can say Travis Kelce is coming back to play football again.”
Kelce did not further explain his McAfee comment to the podcast.
