NFL fans had a lot to say after learning just how much money Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce makes in his deal with Pfizer.
In contrast to other notable NFL personalities like Aaron Rodgers (a spreader of COVID-19 and vaccine misinformation) and Antonio Brown (faked his COVID vaccine card), Travis Kelce signed a deal with Pfizer to promote the safety and effectiveness of their COVID vaccine.
It has been reported that Kelce’s deal with Pfizer is worth $20 million. On Wednesday, the ML Football X/Twitter account sent out a viral post about how Kelce’s Pfizer contract is richer than his 2025 salary of $17.125 million:

You may recall that in Oct. 2023, Aaron Rodgers took a shot at Kelce by calling him “Mr. Pfizer.” Kelce clapped back by saying he looks like “Mr. Pfizer,” with his new mustache. Kelce also quipped, “Mr. Pfizer against the Johnson and Johnson family over there.”
