Social media users hope Travis Kelce drafts Harrison Butker as groomsman for Taylor Swift wedding

The uproar subsided as the season got underway, and he was able to step up in the AFC Championship to nail the go-ahead field goal that put the Chiefs into Super Bowl LIX.

But those reacting to the proposal believed Butker would be the perfect groomsman for Kelce.

Butker said he did not think Swift grew up around football, and Swift expressed her astonishment that he could kick the ball so far. He added that he was a "little nervous" about meeting the pop star.

"I hope they, as I said at Georgia Tech, I hope they get married and start a family."

Swift and Kelce dated for about two years before they announced their engagement.
