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 think as long as he kicks ass in the playoffs he is going to play, but this is the first time I've been worried about him thinking about retiring.
Damn y'all, I know no one is taking him for granted, but shit don't take this dude for granted. I'm probably gonna cry when he does end up retiring and I've never done that before lol. |

Currently, that's Gronk with 90/1327/17. 38 more receptions and 150 more yards would definitely trump the two less TDs. |

So Kelce's has seasons of 103/1336/10, 105/1416/11, and 110/1338/12 and none are better because of TDs?

Probably didn’t officially track targets early in his career

PLAYER OF THE GAME
The true mark of greatness is rising to the occasion when it matters most, and that’s exactly what Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce did today. In Kansas City’s biggest game of the season to date, Kelce delivered his finest performance of 2024, earning his best single-game grade since Week 14 of last year, per PFF’s initial review. Kelce was nearly unstoppable, hauling in seven of eight targets for a game-high 117 yards, a touchdown, and four first downs. He showcased his trademark after-the-catch ability, racking up 59 yards post-reception while forcing two missed tackles. Three of his catches gained 15 or more yards. The veteran tight end averaged 4.33 yards per route run — the highest of the contest — and passes thrown his way generated a perfect 158.3 passer rating. When the lights shine brightest, Kelce continues to prove he’s one of the NFL’s best.

Think he’ll have to play another year to get rice on yards but he can match or pass him on td this year maybe.

151 receptions on 139 targets is still unrealistically good.

If we get into a shootout in the AFC Championship and it goes to overtime then it’s feasible for him to have 140-150 yard + 2 TD game that would put both records in reach in the Super Bowl.

They didn't track targets until 1992. Not a typo, it's just missing data.
