New TE... Old one was broken
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profil...lce?id=2540258
OVERVIEW In high school, Kelce was a three sport star, but his best sport was always football. He was a three-year letter winner at quarterback, and earned All-Lake Erie League honors after totaling 2,539 yards of total offense and 31 total touchdowns as a senior. Kelce’s uncle Don Blalock played football at Purdue and grandfather Don Blalock played football at Ohio. Travis is the younger brother of former Cincinnati Bearcats and current Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. In his first year on campus, Travis redshirted. In his redshirt freshman year, Kelce participated in 11 games as the tight end. He caught one pass for three yards. Kelce also played some quarterback, strictly in a Wildcat role. He logged eight carries for 47 yards and two touchdowns. Kelce did not play in 2010, as he was suspended for a violation of team rules. Upon his return in 2011, Kelce caught 13 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. In his senior season, Kelce put himself on the NFL prospect map, as he caught 45 passes for 722 yards and eight touchdowns. He was selected to the All-Big East first team for his play. ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Kelce has an ideal tight end frame. Athletic for his size, with great strength, and the ability to stretch the field vertically. Very physical run blocker, generates power from the lower half, and will move defenders off the ball. Plays with leverage. Wide catching radius, can adjust and make the difficult catch. Tough to bring down after the catch. Light feet, and has lined up in numerous different positions. WEAKNESSES Suspended for an entire season for violating team rules. Only one season of production. Doesn't have blazing speed. Not a tremendously explosive athlete. Doesn't come out of his breaks all that well. NFL COMPARISON Rob Gronkowski BOTTOM LINE Kelce has been a tremendous run blocker throughout his career for the Bearcats, but really elevated his game as a receiver in his senior season. He isn't a tremendous athlete, but he does a lot of things very well. It's a deep tight end class, but Kelce's play suggests that he should be highly sought after. |

I’m still not over this dude’s performance.
11 catches on 11 targets for 116 yards. One TD, one 4th down conversion, and four 3rd down conversions. |

This thread was a trainwreck full of bad takes... especially SaulDumbGuy wishing two blownout ACLs for Kelce. What a bunch of asshats.

And one of those catches I’m still certain was real.

That 4th and 2 connection might have actually been more difficult.
That was tight coverage and Mahomes put a dart up there. He had to reach up and pick it. I was dead sure that ball was going off his hands and to a defender. That play looked smothered and it just didn't matter.

Travis Kelce is the greatest tight end ever. He is better than Gronk for sure.
I hope when they both retire, he and Taylor Swift get married and live on a ranch somewhere. Where Travis can work the land in the snow and Taylor can cook him good vitals to eat every day at sundown. |

Kittle is great and all but he can’t do any of that except maybe the 4th down catch, but most of his stuff isn’t that contested. This is one of those games that a guy can point to and say, dude is the best ever, and he did it at 34 years old. |
