PAThe veteran tight end expressed dissatisfaction with his recent performances, acknowledging that his play fell short of his usual standards.
Kelce revealed his motivation for returning centres on his sense of responsibility to his team-mates.

"I think I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them, especially if you look at my track record and how I've been in years past," Kelce said.
The tight end concluded by expressing determination to prove himself once more.
"I want to give it a good run. I got a bad taste in my mouth about how I ended the year and how well I was playing, and how accountable I was for the people around me," he added.
