Tony Gonzalez tells us whether he or Travis Kelce is the best

Somehow the Kansas City Chiefs have been blessed multiple times over at the tight end position—much, much more so than any other team in the National Football League.

Whether you point to the man generally regarded as the single greatest TE in history in Tony Gonzalez or the current perennial Pro Bowler occupying the same position in Travis Kelce, no other franchise can boast the sort of one-two historic punch as Chiefs Kingdom.

But how do Kelce and Gonzalez stack up against one another?

Tony Gonzalez chats with Arrowhead Addict podcast about Travis Kelce’s greatness.

We recently had the chance to ask Gonzalez himself for his take on a new episode of the Arrowhead Addict podcast. Gonzalez sat down to answer questions about Patrick Mahomes, his take on player vaccinations, his favorite contenders for the year and, of course, tight end greatness while promoting TiVo Stream 4K for football fans.

“I always get asked this question, especially when we’re together. You know what we do when they say, ‘Who is the better tight end?’ We point at each other, and that’s what I love about us without being so arrogant.

“You know what, Travis is a phenomenal football player. Dominant. Runs great routes. I think we brought different things to the table. What called from the position a lot more when I was there is that you had to block. Travis gets the luxury of not having to block as much, especially when I had Marty Schottenheimer and Dick Vermeil. You better put your big boy pads on and put your hand in the dirt and go block that defensive end or linebacker, where he doesn’t have to do that too much.

“The rules have changed now, so he’s going to be able to put up a lot bigger, better numbers, just like all the tight ends in the league, because obviously they want points and defenses are kind of handcuffed at times. But I love Travis. I love my game. I love his game. Politically speaking, you choose—or him. But confidently speaking, I like to say, ‘You know what, I was pretty damn good.’ When I got on the field, I always thought I was the best.”
