In a resurfaced clip, the NFL star jokes about his teammates’ reaction to the steamy video, saying, “I’m pretty sure I’ll hear it”

Another Travis Kelce moment is taking the internet by storm.

The steamy YouTube video, shared by ESPN in July 2017, begins with Kelce showing off some of his signature dance moves while sporting a white robe and long, floppy hair — a far cry from his current buzzcut.

For his first spa treatment, the NFL star lies face down on a table and receives a “detoxifying” and “deep cleansing treatment,” which requires him to ditch the robe so he can be massaged while covered in foam.

“Is that bubbles? I love bubbles,” he excitedly tells the massage therapist, adding that the experience is a “hard feeling to describe.”

During the next step, a detoxifying clay massage, someone behind the camera asks Kelce, “What do you think your teammates will think of this?”

“Aw man, you know what? I don’t know if I can really think of what they’re going to say, but I’m pretty sure I’ll hear it,” he says. “It’s always fun.”

After being splashed with water, Kelce, still lying face down, says, “I just feel like I’m a fish sitting on a skillet right now, just getting, like, seasoned.”

Then, the tight end — still sweating from his treatment — walks out of the spa room, shirtless and smiling, a moment that amassed nearly 3 million views on X (formerly Twitter).

“Woo,” he exclaims, adding that it was “hard to breathe in there,” but the experience was “amazing.”

“I suggest this for everybody,” he says. “I might have to get my mom one of these.”

In his December/January WSJ. Magazine cover story, Kelce revealed that he undergoes lots of treatments to deal with the painful injuries he regularly experiences — which he said he has purposefully kept to himself.

“That’s the only thing I’ve never really been open about … the discomfort. The pain. The lingering injuries — the 10 surgeries I’ve had,” he told the outlet, adding that he still feels “every single surgery to this day.”

According to his personal trainer and physical therapist, Alex Skacel, there is not a day during the football season that Kelce is not littered in bruises and scratches that require treatment beyond basic therapy.

But Kelce diminishes the pain so he can keep playing, the Chiefs’ longtime tight end coach, Tom Melvin, told the magazine.

“He has phenomenal pain tolerance. He’s played through things that other athletes I’ve coached through the years have not been able to push through,” Melvin said, adding that Kelce is “mentally tough — way off the charts.”
