Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce continues to stake his claim as the best tight end in the history of the National Football League.
It took 151 career games for Kelce to record 10,927 receiving yards, and in his 152nd game, he's now achieved some big things. With 14 receiving yards on three receptions against the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany, Kelce now has the most receiving yards by any player in Chiefs franchise history. With 10,941 career receiving yards, he passes Pro Football Hall of Fame TE Tony Gonzalez (10,940), whom Kelce has been chasing for his entire career in Kansas City.
Kelce still has some work to do in order to catch Gonzalez elsewhere. He has 870 receptions with the Chiefs, while Gonzalez has 916. Kelce has 73 touchdowns while Gonzalez has 76 during his tenure in Kansas City.
No. 87 seems to be more of a decoy in the game plan this week, but he can soon make some unique NFL history that will put him in some rare company that includes Gonzalez.
As of two minutes left in the fourth quarter, Kelce needs just 59 receiving yards in order to become the fourth tight end in NFL history to record 11,000 receiving yards in his career. Only Tony Gonzalez (15,127), Jason Witten (13,046), and Antonio Gates (11,841) have reached that mark. Kelce would also become the fastest tight end to reach that mark if he does so in the next 29 games.
Gonzalez holds that pace record right now reaching the mark in 191 career games.
