Travis Kelce is going from the end zone to the big screen.

After it was recently announced that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end had been cast in Ryan Murphys new horror series, Grotesquerie, Kelce admitted hes shocked that the famous television director tapped him for the forthcoming project.

I was kinda blown away and kinda, like, shocked that [Murphy] was willing to give me a role like this, because it is a big role on the show, the NFL player explained on Wednesdays episode of his New Heights podcast .

He seemed very confident that Id be able to do this, and he kinda injected that in me the first conversation that we had. So hopefully I dont bomb this for him, he continued.

Last week, actress Niecy Nash-Betts confirmed Kelces involvement in the show in an Instagram video posted on Tuesday.

The series plot details are still under wraps, but Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville have also been casted opposite Kelce and Nash-Betts, according to Deadline .

The three-time Super Bowl champion went on to gush about working with Murphy on the FX series.
