Jason Kelce discusses Harrison Butker on today’s “New Heights Podcast.”
I CHERISH HIM AS A TEAMMATE I THINK PAT MAHOMES SAID IT BEST WHERE HE IS EVERY BIT OF A GREAT PERSON AND GREAT TEAMMATE. HE’S TREATED FAMILY AND FAMILY THAT I’VE INTRODUCED TO HIM WITH NOTHING BUT RESPECT AND KINDNESS, AND THAT’S HOW HE TREATS EVERYONE.
After Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker sparked controversy over his Benedictine College commencement speech, which included a Taylor Swift nod, Travis Kelce weighed in on his teammate’s comments.
Travis Kelce doesn’t have any bad blood with Harrison Butker.
Although the Kansas City Chiefs tight end didn’t agree with his teammate’s polarizing commencement speech at Benedictine College’s May 11 graduation ceremony, one that included a nod to Taylor Swift, he feels everyone is entitled to their beliefs.
“I cherish him as a teammate,” Travis told older brother Jason Kelce on the May 24 episode of their podcast New Heights. “He’s treated family and family that I’ve introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness. And that’s how he treats everyone.”
“When it comes down to his views and what he said at Saint Benedict’s commencement speech, those are his,” he continued. “I can’t say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids. And I don’t think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views, of how to go about life, that’s just not who I am.”

The 34-year-old also noted that his childhood in Ohio played a role in how he views others.
“I grew up in a beautiful upbringing of different social classes, different religions, different races and ethnicities, in Cleveland Heights, and that’s why I love Cleveland Heights for what it was,” he said, “It showed me a broad spectrum, just a broad view of a lot of different walks of life. And I appreciated every single one of those people for different reasons, and I never once had to feel like I needed to judge them based off of their beliefs.”
