Andy Reid has been coaching in the NFL for a quarter-century, so it’s hard to imagine him working at a different level of football.
But Chiefs star Travis Kelce believes Reid would make an awesome youth football coach.
Kelce shared his reasons why last month while at Tight End University in Nashville during an interview with Youth Inc.
“Big Red, he can coach at any level (in) any sport, he’s got it up here,” Kelce said as he pointed to his head. “You know what he would be good at? He’d be good at a Punt, Pass and Kick competition.”

Kelce was referencing the video of Reid at a Punt, Pass and Kick event that was shown at halftime of a “Monday Night Football” game in 1971. Here is video of that.
