NFL star Travis Kelce was seen shirtless in Miami on May 20, 2025, after a sweaty workout with close friends Ross Travis and Kumar Ferguson. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end ditched his black T-shirt and cap after training, revealing his hairy chest and back, which quickly caught attention online.

Fans often joke about Kelce’s body hair, calling him “Big Yeti” — a name he laughs about on his podcast with his brother. He’s even joked that being hairy in hot weather isn’t easy.

Photos of Kelce shirtless sparked a wave of reactions on social media.

Some fans even noted that the uneven patches of hair could be caused by the friction of shoulder pads and training gear, which athletes wear regularly.
While the Chiefs had a quiet offseason following their Super Bowl 2025 loss, Kelce has remained focused. He’s currently staying in a luxury mansion in Boca Raton, Florida, where he’s been training hard to prepare for his 13th season in the NFL. His Miami workouts prove he's staying committed and ready to dominate the field again.
