Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is hoping to dip his toes in the world of professional wrestling.

Kelce told TMZ Sports that after watching San Francisco 49ers tight George Kittle help take down The Miz at WrestleMania 39 earlier this month, he'd like to get involved with WWE in some capacity, too.

"My guy George Kittle was at WrestleMania throwing clotheslines left and right, man. It was awesome to see him go nuts," Kelce said. "But yeah, I gotta get involved somehow, some way.

"Me and The Miz have been talking a little bit about it, so hopefully we can brew something into fruition here."

Kelce has had a busy offseason since winning his second Super Bowl championship, hosting "Saturday Night Live" in March and throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before the Cleveland Guardians' season opener earlier this month.

The 33-year-old is entering his 11th NFL season, all of which he's spent in Kansas City.
