Kirk Cousins teases Travis Kelce’s viral hairy back photo, joking about genetics and Taylor Swift’s acceptance, while Kelce embraces his 'Big Yeti' nickname.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins couldn’t resist a playful jab at Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce over a viral photo showcasing Kelce’s impressively hirsute back. The image, which took social media by storm last week, sparked chuckles and comments across the internet, with Cousins joining the fun during an interview at the grand opening of Universal Epic Universe in Orlando, Florida.
“God bless Taylor Swift for embracing that furry situation,” Cousins quipped, crediting Kelce’s hairy physique to “genetics” while expressing relief at dodging that particular DNA bullet. Kelce, no stranger to the spotlight, leaned into the jest on his New Heights podcast, joking about unleashing his inner “Yeti” on the court during his college basketball days at Cincinnati, where teammates dubbed him “Big Yeti” for his abundant chest, back, and arm hair.
Kelce, now in his 13th NFL season, remains a force for the Chiefs, racking up 97 catches, 823 yards, and three touchdowns in 2024. Despite Kansas City’s Super Bowl run ending in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Kelce’s larger-than-life persona—hair and all—continues to captivate fans.
