Travis Kelce He has infinite support for his Kansas City Chiefs teammate Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

In the November 8 episode of The Pivot PodcastEdwards-Helaire, 25, sat down with hosts Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder to talk about the PTSD he experienced after being involved in a shooting in 2018. The runner shared that the incident affected his life personal, physical health and professional career.

Kelce, 35, shared the episode on his account x on the same day, writing: “GBC!! My good brother for life! You need to tune in to this one. One of the strongest men I know!”

Edwards-Helaire told the hosts that the shooting occurred on Dec. 22, 2018, when he was still playing college football at Louisiana State University. He recalled that he and a friend were in North Baton Rouge trying to sell a Playstation console in what was supposed to be a routine trade.

The athlete shared that he had a “bad feeling” when he woke up that morning, but he accompanied his friend to run the errand anyway.

“The next thing I see is a gun pointed at Jared’s head,” he said. “My only reaction was, you know, either I’m about to watch my best friend lose his life or do something about it.”

Edwards-Helaire, who was also carrying a firearm, took action. According to a report from Associated PressAuthorities considered Edwards-Helaire and his friend justified in the shooting, which resulted in a death, as they were acting in self-defense.

“I hope that no one ever has to go through the situation that I have gone through,” he added in the podcast.

Edwards-Helaire also described how the incident affected him physically. He said he only slept about three hours a night for several years after the experience and was “vomiting constantly.” He also shared that he has been hospitalized several times for post-traumatic stress disorder.

“The only time I felt like myself was when I put the helmet on,” he added.

When the hosts asked Edwards-Helaire if the NFL’s “super stars” knew what he had been “dealing with,” he said he had received incredible support from Kelce.

“The amount of time I spent with Travis was unreal,” he continued. “I really see him as a big brother and I needed someone to lean on.”

He said Kelce would check in with him to see how he was doing during his first year in the league. Their conversations were “more sincere than anything else,” he noted, adding: “He called me GBC, good brother Clyde.”

Edwards-Helaire also made special mention of Andy Reid, Chiefs Head Coachexplaining that she urged him to take care of himself and take the time he needed on his healing journey.

“I’m doing a lot better than I have in the last four years,” Edwards-Helaire said elsewhere in the podcast. “Mentally and physically, everything is getting better and better. I would say I’m probably in the best health I’ve been since I came into the league.”
