Johnson also has ties to the game of football. He played defensive tackle for the University of Miami from 1990 to 1994. He played alongside many future NFL stars, including eventual Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp. He recorded 4.5 sacks and 77 tackles throughout his career with the Hurricanes, which included one start.

Of the two brothers, Travis Kelce is the only remaining active NFL player. Jason Kelce played center for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2011 to 2023. During that time, he managed to win a Super Bowl with the team during the 2017 season.

As for Travis, he has established himself as one of the greatest tight ends the game has ever seen. He has also remained with one team his entire career, the Kansas City Chiefs, who drafted him back in 2013. Travis Kelce has won three Super Bowls with the Chiefs, alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Although retirement was teased for the younger Kelce brother, he opted to play another season this year in 2025. Many speculate that it could very well be the final season of the 36-year-old's historic career. Currently, Kelce and the Chiefs hold a record of 3-3 and are ranked third in the AFC West division rankings.
