His New Heights podcast with brother Jason, 36, has been a smash hit.

And the duo recently invested in fast-growing company Garage Beers.

Retired punter McAfee, 37, has also made a splash in the media scene with The Pat McAfee show signing a bumper ESPN deal.

“Pat McAfee has been one of my favourite guys in the industry,” Kelce said at a creativity festival in Cannes.

“He’s really taken his brand to a whole other level with the people he started it with.

“And that’s something that me and Jason hold dear to our hearts, we’re loyal guys.”
