The NFL’s favorite snack revealed: Travis Kelce and Co eat more than 80,000 of kids’ treat every season

NFL players eat at least 80,000 Uncrustables a year, according to a new analysis of the sport’s favorite snack.

The peanut butter and jelly sandwiches – available at your local supermarket – have become a regular part of the players’ diet during training and at half-time.

Uncrustables were created in the 1990s by former college receiver Len Kretchman and his wife Emily. They are – as the name suggests – mass-produced sandwiches without crust. They are sealed, round and available in different flavors.

Travis Kelce has claimed he eats more Uncrustables than ‘anything else in the world’ – and the Chiefs star isn’t alone.

According to The Athleticswhich has collected information from across the NFL, teams go through up to 4,300 Uncrustables every week and more than 80,000 per year.

The snacks are most popular in the Broncos’ locker room, where Denver players eat about 700 each week.

That’s more than double the next highest team – the Seattle Seahawks – whose players go through about 320 Uncrustables per week.

Of the 24 teams that provided data, the New Orleans Saints and Cincinnati Bengals eat the least (about 50), while the Las Vegas Raiders eat about 60.

Some teams told The Athletic they make their own peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Travis Kelce has previously said he eats more Uncrustables than ‘anything else in the world’

The NFL reportedly requires home teams to provide 36 sliced ​​oranges to their opponents, but according to The Athletic, many stars are now eating Uncrustables at halftime.

Word has it that 49ers tight end George Kittle faces two on every flight to a road game — and up to four on the way home.

His quarterback Brock Purdy ate one in the locker room prior to Super Bowl LVIII, when San Francisco was defeated by the Chiefs.

Kansas City star Kelce told his brother Jason last year, “I probably eat more Uncrustables than anything in the world.”
