Travis Kelce attempted to play President for a moment – and Patrick Mahomes, playfully, had none of it.
The Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs made their visit to the White House on Monday and the team’s star tight end and quarterback appeared to have some fun during their second trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the past three years.
After the duo posed for a photo on stage with President Biden with a Chiefs no. 46 jersey, Kelce – dressed in a red suit and black shirt — walked over to the podium with the Presidential seal and began addressing the crowd.
“So I’ve been waiting for this …” Kelce said before Mahomes stepped in to cut him off.
The former MVP looked like a secret service agent pushing his tight end back with the rest of the team.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” Mahomes said.
It’s unclear if it was something the two planned or if Kelce was going to throw his hat into the 2024 race, but it got plenty of laughter from those in attendance.
The Chiefs got to the White House by defeating the Eagles and Kelce’s brother Jason, 38-35, in Super Bowl 2023 in Glendale, Ariz. in February.
Biden offered praise for the team, which showed “the real joy of the game and love for each other and the great city you represent,” as well as applauded their off-field efforts in the community, saying “as these guys know about football, they know about life and how to use their platform to make a difference. ”
The visit comes at a somber time for the Chiefs franchise after matriarch Norma Hunt – widow of team founder Lamar — died over the weekend at the age of 85.
Mahomes and Kelce have been two of the NFL’s most dynamic players during their time with the Chiefs.
Last season Mahomes, 27, threw for a career-best 5,250 yards, 41 touchdowns, and 12 INTs while completing a career-high 67.1 percent of his passes en route to his second MVP award.
Kelce, 33, caught a career-high 110 passes for 1.338 yards and a career-best 12 touchdowns.
Chances are he and Mahomes will be a makes a few more trips to the White House before their careers are over.
