Kyle Juszczyk Blames Kelce-Swift Wedding for Alcohol Use

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk has jokingly attributed his infrequent alcohol consumption to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s wedding, along with other social events involving Kelce and teammate George Kittle. Juszczyk, who was recently fined $14,296 by the NFL for a touchdown celebration, stated he rarely drinks, typically only a few times in the offseason.

During an appearance on the "New Heights" podcast, hosted by brothers Travis and Jason Kelce, Juszczyk explained that his limited drinking occasions often involve the two NFL players. "I was at Tight End U with Travis and George. And I was at Travis’ wedding with Travis and George! So we’ve got some bad influences around here, man. They’re the ones that are leading me astray, I’m telling you," Juszczyk said.

Travis Kelce responded lightheartedly, "We’re just having a good time!"

Juszczyk’s comments came after he was penalized for a celebration that mimicked chugging a beer. He noted that his teammates have begun calling him "Beer," a departure from his usual nickname, "Juice."
