Travis isn't the only famous sports star in the Kelce family.

He has an older brother, Jason, who is also a well known star in American football, though he retired last year.

Just like Travis, Jason has also won a Super Bowl, which might have you thinking which brother is better.

Well, actually, they were both playing at Super Bowl 57 on opposite teams, becoming the first siblings to play against each other at the event.

It was Travis' team that came out on top, although the brothers were never actually on the field at the same time, as they both are attacking players.

While they may have been rivals on the field, off the field there's no bad blood between brothers Travis and Jason. In fact, Travis’ shirt number is a tribute to his brother.

Wearing the number 87 for the entirety of his career with the Chiefs, it’s the year that Jason was born.

In an interview with the NFL, Travis said: “If there is a Kelce legacy, two brothers making it to the NFL, it all started in 1987 because this big guy was born in 1987.”
