Ravens’ John Harbaugh has high hopes for Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift relationship

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has the sentiment likely shared by many in the AFC when it comes to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Harbaugh hopes Kelce has a nice life after football and marries the girl of his wildest dreams – Taylor Swift – instead of wreaking havoc on NFL defenses.

“I hope they get married,” Harbaugh told Us Magazine in a recent interview. “I hope they have a bunch of kids. Heck, maybe he’ll get ready to retire here pretty soon to pursue that family aspect of his life.”

He added, “I would encourage that.”

Harbaugh credited his daughter with him learning about Swift. He said he was not all too familiar with the names of her songs but thought she was an “excellent” performer.

Harbaugh is one of the longest-tenured head coaches in the NFL. He is coaching his 17th season with the Ravens after being hired in 2008.

He has a 160-99 record with a Super Bowl championship under his belt. Last year, the Ravens fell short of making it to the big game despite having the best record in the NFL and the league’s MVP in Lamar Jackson.
