Things can get intense during training camp -especially among teammates- and Kansas City Chiefs star tight end, Travis Kelce, was involved in one of those moments on Saturday.

The NFL's best tight end caught a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes (what else is new) in the back of the end zone before linebacker Jack Cochrane came over late and tried to punch the ball out of Kelce's arms.

Kelce didn't like that. At all. The eight-time Pro Bowler immediately punched Cochrane right in the head and he certainly didn't pull any punches (pun intended).

Moments like this happen all the time and it's safe to say this was simply a heat-of-the-moment type situation. Kelce and Cochrane will be laughing about it once the final whistle blows on Saturday's practice.

But at the same time, the second-year linebacker probably should think twice the next time he attempts a late strike on Kelce – or any other player, at that. Kelce may wanna think twice, as well, in order to prevent a stupid injury from potentially happening. Punching helmets as hard as you can isn't the best idea whenever you catch passes and touchdowns for a living.
