The Kansas City Chiefs are just days away from the start of their most crucial playoff run in franchise history.
They have the possibility to do something that no other team in NFL history has even done before: three-peat.
But, in order to do that, they need every player to be at their best. And that includes Travis Kelce, who has been having a lower season statistically.
However, one NFL quarterback made it very clear that he knows Kelce still has it in him. At least for one more run.
"Kelce is more than capable of being the difference maker. I think he's got one great run left. I think if he goes and has that vintage Kelce performance, which I think he’s capable of and will do, and they go on to three-peat, I think retirement becomes a very real thing for Travis Kelce — there would be nothing else to accomplish,” ESPN's Dan Orlovsky said on First Take.
"He'd be arguably the greatest tight end of all time. He would be the tight end that was part of the only three-peat in history of the NFL. He's obviously later in his career. I don't think there would be anything left.
It's no secret that Kelce is towards the end of his career. And he has hinted at retirement a few times this season.
But, could he really call it quits in 2025?
According to Orlovsky, he feels that Kelce might if the Chiefs win that ultimate prize.
"I think he has one elite, great, difference maker, vintage, 'oh my gosh he did it again' run left in him," Orlovsky stated.
For Chiefs Kingdom, hopefully he's wrong and Kelce is back out there for at least one more season. However, right now the focus is on getting to New Orleans.
