You get to go out there with the young guys on prime-time television. Young guys getting an opportunity to taste what this NFL life is like."
He was also asked about his future plans pertaining to a possible retirement, however, he remained neutral. He expressed: "I'll let that be a decision I'll make with my family, friends, [and with] the Chiefs' organization when the time comes."

He expressed during a press conference: "You know, seeing my brother go through it and seeing...just how the league works, the season kind of restarts in April, and I want to give the Chiefs a good opportunity to know whether I come back or not."

Understandably, it's a hard decision to make, especially for Travis who expressed his deep appreciation for the team's loyal fans. He added: "You only get a few of those [occasions] where you get to stand there and appreciate [60,000], 70,000 Chiefs fans cheering for you. I always embrace that moment."

He explained that he's taking it day by day and said: "[I have the] opportunity to go out there and fill the roster appropriately. So, all of that will be at the end of the season and I won't be thinking about it until then."
The football pro also mentioned just how inspired he feels playing alongside his teammates. He stated: "Every single day is a new challenge and I love that. The chemistry of this team is the most fun I've been on in a while."
