Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce have had a lot of big moments in their career. Between the two of them, they have have four Super Bowl championships, 10 First Team All-Pro honors, 16 Pro Bowl selections and countless big moments.

Their now-famous parents Donna and Ed joined them on stage for the surprise event that took place after a live version of their “New Heights” podcast.

Over a decade later, Cincinnati presented the tight end with the same helmet they said he needed, so he could finally get his diploma.

In true Travis fashion, he gave a speech that hyped up the crowd, which was very reminiscent of his previous championship addresses.

“To all my fellow students … before we make this thing official, I thought I’d give you guys some advice,” Travis said, adding, “Fight For Your Right.” “You gotta fight. For your right. To PAAAAAAARTY!”
