I hope Super Bowl 57 gets remembered for years! What a great year that was! Kelce Bowl was amazing!

travis and his brother are amazing brothers together

I love how Jason had Travis’ back! That’s an awesome older Brother! His story could have gone down the path of Aaron Hernandez really easily!

Notice how mad and unhappy he looks in the early college and high school pictures. I am so glad he grew up into such a great and mature fun-loving man.

Travis owes so much to Jason and Coach Andy Reid.

Nonetheless, Travis has matured into a driven, meticulous on the field performer, whose mindset i winning (and to not play stupid). Having his big brother, Jason, as his mentor, along with Coach Reid & Patrick Mahomes has allowed Travis to become an elite tight end/receiver.

Winning another Super Bowl will place Travis Kelce along with Rob Gronkowski, as the best tight ends of all time. Gronk defined and refined the position. Tom Brady always knew Gronk was going to find a way to make a play, when necessary. Travis Kelce has similar attributes. Patrick Mahomes looks for Travis to find an open area, and when those two players possess that internal instinct, positive results occur.

Not too shabby for a two star recruit, who had a number of uncomfortable and uncertain mature factors.

Go Travis, Go Chiefs!

“The greatest tight end ever” 10/10 ragebait🥀

Anyone who goes from zero to hero should have your respect.

For everyone comparing Gronk and Kelce consider this: They don’t play the same tight end position. There’s two TE spots, a Y (the inline run blocker- Gronk) and a U (lines up in different spots pass catcher/ slot TE-Kelce)

He has and still is growing, in addition to, maturing into a better version of himself. Keep the relationship with Taylor Swift alive and well. Good luck in the Superbowl and I look forward to watching the game !
On another note, Jason Kelce is a very supportive brother ! Travis is very lucky to have such a good relationship with him ! My adopted brother stole 35k+ from me, and was brutal to me behind closed doors. -Jen Gable (Justeson)
*May he remain healthy and keep growing both professionally, in addition to, personally.

It's real simple, I can't tell you the amount of coaches in the NCAA that misread talent.

[SomeGuyFromOK]

People will try to tell you he’s slowed down and isn’t that good anymore, while he was only 16 yards short of another 1000 yard season, and is the only TE with more than 3 straight 1000 yard seasons (he had 6-7).

[Magdalenas]

I mean, I like Kelce. Im a Tampa resident and Bucs fan so obviously I'm a Gronk guy. I dont think its controversial to say Gronk is potentially number 1 or 2. Kelce is definitely on the top 3-5.

And its absurd. Some are acting like Kelce is trash and its all his fault for this seasons struggle. Despite it being obvious everyone is struggling. Blaming it all on him and his relationship. Making things political for absolutely no reason.

I know the answer to that question...perseverance and hard work.

[sniffableandirresistble]

Earl Campbell was incredible he was so next level

Interesting to know the stats and history. I just became a fan of the Chiefs after watching quarterbacks on Netflix sometime around the beginning of the new season. Before I would not have wasted 5 minutes watching football. Now I'm obsessed.
