Travis Kelce Responds To Rodgers' 'Mr. Pfizer' Joke ... Stands By Getting Jab
Travis Kelce is taking Aaron Rodgers' playful diss in stride ... admitting he thought it was actually funny when the Jets superstar referred to him as "Mr. Pfizer" earlier this week -- but doubling down on his decision to be a vaccine spokesperson.
Kelce addressed AR8's recent comments on the "Pat McAfee Show" with reporters on Friday ... cracking a few jokes of his own as he discussed the whole ordeal.

"I thought it was pretty good," Kelce said at the Chiefs' facility. "I mean, with the 'stache right now, I look like a guy named Mr. Pfizer. Who knew I'd get into a vax war with Aaron Rodgers, man. Mr. Pfizer versus the Johnson & Johnson family over there."
Of course, Kelce is referring to Jets owner Woody Johnson, who is an heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical company.
TK then got real for a second ... explaining his reason for getting the jab.
Aaron Rodgers Takes Shot At Travis Kelce, 'Mr. Pfizer'
"I got it because of, you know, keeping myself safe, keeping my family safe, the people in this building. So yeah, I stand by 1000%. Fully comfortable with him calling me Mr. Pfizer."
Kelce -- who celebrated his 34th birthday on Thursday -- was also asked about his recent romance with Taylor Swift and the hype around it ... and he knows he brought all the attention on himself.
"You got a lot of people that care about Taylor and for good reason," Kelce said. "Just gotta keep living and learning and enjoying the moments. At the end of the day, I've always been pretty good with compartmentalizing and being able to stay focused in this building. I'll just keep rollin' with that."
