San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk has heaped praise on Travis Kelce, saying the Kansas City Chiefs star and Taylor Swift would make a perfect couple. Juszczyk, who spent time with Kelce at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe earlier this month, believes the pair share similar qualities that make them a great match.
Juszczyk, 33, drew comparisons between Kelce and his 49ers teammate Christian McCaffrey, who recently tied the knot with model Olivia Culpo. He noted how both Kelce and McCaffrey have remained genuine and supportive of their partners, despite being in high-profile relationships.
In an interview with Us Weekly, Juszczyk said: “I think maybe that’s part of the reason why they’re so beloved by fans and why people love both of those couples. They all stayed so genuine and real. They haven’t become too good for everyone.”

Juszczyk’s wife, Kristin, previously designed custom Chiefs gear for Taylor Swift last season, and the couple has remained close to the popstar. Juszczyk believes that having a partner who is on the same level as you can keep you grounded, especially in high-pressure careers like music and football.
Earlier this month, Juszczyk’s teammate George Kittle recalled asking Kelce if he could use the bathroom at Swift’s vacation home in Rhode Island while attending the McCaffrey’s wedding in Westerly via text. Kittle has been a huge fan of Kelce’s, saying: “He’s a fantastic football player. He’s probably a first-ballot Hall of Famer.”

Juszczyk’s comments come after the 49ers’ narrow Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs earlier this year. The Juszczyks were spotted on a getaway trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with the McCaffrey’s and another couple – teammate George Kittle and his wife, Claire.
It seems that the NFL players and their partners have formed strong bonds, both on and off the field. With their genuine support for each other, they’re proving that even in the high-pressure world of professional sports, relationships can thrive.
