The greatest tight end of all time, yes that's right, Travis Kelce, just moved on up the ranks when it comes to the best players ever in the postseason. And he also broke a record while he was at it. This guy is just different, and I'm sure the Kansas City Chiefs are glad he's on their team.
The veteran tight end knew he would have to step up this year with the departure of Tyreek Hill, and he knew he definitely would have to in the postseason when the competition is even tougher. So, that's what he did, in record-breaking fashion.
Against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the divisional round, Kelce broke the record for most catches in a postseason game by any player ever, with 14 on the night.
To go along with that impressive feat he also had nearly 100 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. The guy is simply unstoppable.
Then, after the game, we learned via Mitch Holthus, the Chiefs radio play-by-play, that Kelce is now second all-time in postseason catches by any position player, only second to the greatest receiver of all time in Jerry Rice.
We have all been extremely fortunate to get to watch a player master his craft as he has. The best part too, he isn't done. Sure, he is getting up there in age, but people thought he would start to slow down two years ago, and he has only gotten better.
Not to mention he will have Mahomes throwing the ball to him too. I don't think anyone saw this coming.
