Travis Kelce made his NFL debut in 2013 with the Kansas City Chiefs and has remained with the team ever since. Known as one of the best in his position, he reached 10,000 career receiving yards in 2022, becoming only the fifth tight end to achieve this milestone.
Travis Kelce plays a critical role in the Chiefs’ offense. Thanks to his strength and agility, he serves as a hybrid between a receiver and a blocker, aiding the running backs, quarterback and wide receivers in scoring.
However, his rookie season was far from ideal. Reflecting on that time, Kelce shared his experience on ESPN’s First Take in April 2020:
“Throughout my career, the beginning years, I was just always trying my hardest just to get recognized, just to be in the talks of one of the top tight ends in the league.”
