Travis Kelce is helping a Chiefs teammate deal with PTSD after 18-year-old was shot dead in alleged 2018 robbery in Louisiana
Travis Kelce has been credited by Kansas City Chiefs teammate Clyde Edwards-Helaire with helping him deal with PTSD, years after an 18-year-old was shot and killed when allegedly trying to rob him at gunpoint.
December 2018, when Edwards-Helaire and his then LSU teammate Jared Small were trying to sell an electronic item.
Kobe Johnson was the teenager who was killed and police have never said who fired the fatal shot. But the repercussions of that day are still felt by Edwards-Helaire, who has missed practice time recently due to PTSD.
Speaking this week, Edwards-Helaire opened up on how Kelce has kept a close eye on him during Kansas City’s practice camp for the upcoming NFL season.
‘It’s really just mentally just not being there. And it’s one of those things where early on, like guys who kind of pay attention, Trav (Travis Kelce), Kadarius (Toney) at times, they can even – they’ll know like ahead of time (that he’s struggling). Like, ‘Okay, Clyde might not – he’s not laughing, he’s not giggling, he’s not himself.
