Travis Kelce, Tight End
I know the pitchforks are going to come out on this one, but hear me out.
Travis Kelce will be 35 years old this year. He may be the GOAT, but even goats start to turn gray. On top of that, the Chiefs drafted a spunky new tight end out of TCU named Jared Wiley.
I'm not saying Kelce will lose his job to this rookie. But he is already giving the rookie high praise. If Kelce thinks Wiley is already farther than he was as a rookie, will it be any surprise if Reid starts giving Wiley some snaps, especially if it means resting Kelce?
I've been (embarrassingly) high on Chiefs rookie tight ends before. Just check out the final line of this story I wrote a few years ago. Noah Gray wasn't it, I'm willing to admit it. But maybe this Wiley kid can be a step in the right direction for replacing Kelce, eventually.
The Chiefs have strung together great tight end play like the Green Bay Packers have strung together great quarterback play. If Wiley shows even a modicum of greatness this year, I don't think too many people are going to complain about him taking some of Travis' reps.
