The tight end has been spending time with Taylor, training and playing games on the field, and appearing on podcasts. Here’s what the American football player shared about his experience working with comedy king Adam Sandler and his role in the upcoming movie.

He praised the production team and said they were “so professional and yet so fun to work with.” In his experience working with Adam, he said, “I felt like I was working with Andy Reid of the acting world,” referring to the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, known for his brilliance. “He is every bit as cool off the screen as he is on the screen,” he mentioned.
Travis reiterated, “That was a dream come true. That was awesome.” The athlete then divulged that he believes he has a few scenes. “I got a pretty hefty load in there,” he commented, surprising the show’s hosts. They asked him if it meant he would be up for nominations in award shows.
Travis responded that he doesn’t think he has the acting caliber to be up there with the other talented actors. He also felt that he didn’t have that much of a role to be considered for something like that. When they pointed out his own statement from a moment ago, where he said he has a hefty load of work in the series, the 35-year-old simply laughed.
