Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has the opportunity to join an elite group of tight ends in NFL history. With just 73 receiving yards in Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, Kelce will become just the fourth tight end to reach 11,000 career receiving yards. The three current members of that exclusive club are Tony Gonzalez, Jason Witten, and Antonio Gates.
Kelce, who is in his 11th NFL season, has been a consistent force in the Chiefs' offense. He has recorded over 1,000 receiving yards in each season since 2016. This season, Kelce has already amassed 583 yards and four touchdowns through seven games.
While Kelce's production has been stellar throughout his career, it is worth noting that he has been even more productive when singer Taylor Swift is in attendance. With Swift in the crowd this season, Kelce has averaged 8.5 catches and 108 yards per game.
Regardless of whether Kelce reaches the 11,000-yard milestone on Sunday, there is no doubt that he is considered one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history. Retired tight end Rob Gronkowski even called Kelce the best receiving tight end ever. Kickoff for Sunday's game in Germany is at 9:30 a.m. ET.
