DeMarcus Lawrence called his shot - and the Kelce brothers are here for it.
As Super Bowl 60 week kicks off, the Seattle Seahawks pass rusher is soaking in his first trip to the big stage after 12 seasons in the NFL. And he’s doing it with a little swagger, a lot of confidence, and the backing of two guys who know a thing or two about winning it all: Travis and Jason Kelce.
On their New Heights podcast, the Super Bowl-winning siblings revisited a bold quote from Lawrence that made headlines before the 2025 season even began. After signing with Seattle, Lawrence didn’t mince words about his decision to leave Dallas - the team that drafted him and the city he called home for over a decade.
“Dallas is my home, it's my family's home,” Lawrence said at the time. “But I know for sure I wasn't going to win a Super Bowl there.”
Travis Kelce couldn’t help but admire the honesty. “This is a great quote, man,” he said on the podcast.
Jason Kelce added: “Dude, he called this back then! When he said it, I thought, ‘This is a bit much.’ But goddamn, I’ve got to give him credit now.”
And how could you not? Lawrence didn’t just bet on himself - he bet on a franchise that was in transition.
Now, with the Seahawks set to face the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, that quote is aging like fine wine. As Jason Kelce pointed out, it could look even better if Seattle finishes the job on Sunday.
The Seahawks, for their part, are embracing Lawrence’s journey. When the team touched down in the Bay Area on Sunday evening, they gave the veteran defensive end a moment worthy of his long road to the championship stage.

As the team deplaned at San Jose Airport, Lawrence was the first person off the aircraft - a symbolic gesture recognizing his first Super Bowl appearance in Year 12 of a career defined by grit, leadership, and relentless pass-rushing.
Wearing sunglasses and a wide grin, Lawrence looked every bit the part of a man ready for the moment. And why not?
He’s waited over a decade for this shot at the Lombardi Trophy. Now, he’s not just part of the story - he’s one of its emotional centerpieces.
Seattle’s defense has been anchored all season by Lawrence’s presence on the edge. His leadership and production have helped fuel the Seahawks’ run through the NFC, and now he’s one win away from fulfilling the very prophecy he laid out months ago.
It's not often a player says something like that and actually backs it up. But here we are. DeMarcus Lawrence is in the Super Bowl - and the Kelce brothers are giving him his flowers.
