Tyreek Hill Hilariously Calls Chiefs’ Travis Kelce ‘25% Black’ Due to One Big Reason

Patrick Mahomes may have pushed Tyreek Hill to become one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, but it was Travis Kelce who showed young “Cheetah” the first step in that direction. For him, Kelce was the personification of leadership in the locker room and on the field. But as much as Hill acknowledges what his former teammate did for him, it was another one of Kelce’s on-field personas that warranted an honorary title.

If there’s one thing that’s sure to follow a Travis Kelce touchdown, it’s a Travis Kelce dance move. In a recent episode of the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, Tyreek Hill brought humor and light to the conversation by affectionately referring to this very trait of Kelce’s. When one of the co-hosts said, “I think Travis Kelce is at least 30% Black,” Hill replied, “Oh, yeah. For sure.”

“I be telling my grandparents all the time. I say, ‘I think Kelce gotta be like 25% Black. He gotta be.’” When the host said, “He got the rhythm, he knows all the dances,” the wide receiver busted out one of Kelce’s moves!

Hill’s camaraderie with Kelce is well-documented, with Hill describing Kelce to his Dolphins team members as “the energy of that team” before a Sunday game against the Chiefs. Kelce has a knack for finding space and igniting the team’s spirit, according to Tyreek. They were about as close as teammates could’ve been, but now, the tight end has become “too famous” for Hill.

Back in January, before a game, Hill revealed, “I texted Kelce. He still hasn’t texted me back,” something he alluded to Kelce dating Taylor Swift. But as a result of that relationship, the Chiefs star got to experience something he absolutely loves, owing to a visit to Coachella. After returning from the music festival, Jason Kelce asked his brother all about it on the New Heights podcast.

“I absolutely love live music and going to events, going places where people are seeing talents…all these talented people in the world. Like, I love experiencing new cultures,” Travis explained, adding, “That’s the one thing that I really enjoy about Coachella is that it’s not just one genre of music; it’s everything.” And who knows? Maybe he learned a few more moves for his touchdowns this season!

Travis Kelce’s end-zone celebrations and fashion sense have indeed made him a fan favorite. His ability to bring joy and entertainment to the game is evident in his viral dance moves and touchdown celebrations, which have become a signature part of his persona. For instance, Kelce’s simple yet meaningful heart gesture during a touchdown celebration was a special nod to a guest in the stands, showcasing his larger-than-life personality and connection with fans.

When a player bursts into the end zone, scoring six for their squad, the party’s just getting started. NFL stars have been busting out signature touchdown celebrations for decades, igniting roars from diehard fans and adding an extra dose of entertainment to the gridiron action.

It’s not just Travis Kelce who got the moves!

Leading off, we’ve got “The Spike” – the OG end zone move pioneered by Giants’ receiver Homer Jones in 1965. Jones forcefully spiked the ball in celebration, spawning a tradition that players like Gronk have put their spin on over the years.

Speaking of spins, who could forget Jaylen Waddle’s adorable “Waddle”? After finding paydirt, the Dolphins wideout channeled his inner penguin, spinning the pigskin and waddling in a circle. It’s a vibe that’d make Happy Feet jealous.

Then there’s the electric “Prime Time” dance – a slick two-step borrowed from MC Hammer that Deion Sanders rocked after picking off QBs left and right. Neon shades complete that ’90s throwback look.

For pure swagger, you can’t top Victor Cruz’s salsa sessions. The former Giants receiver honored his Puerto Rican grandma by salsa dancing into the end zone. As Cruz put it, “She taught me how to dance.” And let’s not forget the iconic “Lambeau Leap” – a Titletown tradition where Packers players leap into the stands, merging the field and the fan sections into one raucous celebration.

Whether it’s spiking, salsa-ing, or full-on heart gestures like Travis Kelce, these end zone parties show the NFL is more than just a game – it’s a theater of celebration and swagger.
