While chatting about his style withWSJ Magazinelast fall, Kelcelabeled himself an “impulse shopper,“and admitted that he spends at least three hours picking out an outfit for his short commute to the locker room before each Chiefs game.

As for how he actually curates the outfit — which almost always includes one of his over 300 pairs of sneakers — the tight end told the magazine, “I kind of just do it off of instinct.”
