2023
Going into 2023, it is hard to believe Kelce will show any signs of slowing down. He is the number one target of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and always seems to show up in the big moments to make the play take the Chief's offense to the next level. With the departure of veterans Mecole Hardman to the Jets and Juju Smith-Shuster to the Patriots, Mahomes will continue to lean on Kelce, especially early in the season, as the wide receiver room shakes itself out. The chemistry Mahomes and Kelce have with each other is something that needs to be seen to be believed, and all signs point to that chemistry continuing into another hopeful season.
As far as records go in 2023, there is only one record I want Kelce to break, and that is the single-season TD record held by the future hall of famer Rob Gronkowski, who in 2011 hauled in 18 touchdown receptions from his own future hall of fame quarterback Tom Brady as members of the New England Patriots. Kelce is fourth all-time in receiving yards by a tight end; it is possible that Kelce will take spot number three from the great Antonio Gates of the Chargers if he gets 1,500 yards in 2023. It is possible, but that would be one heck of a season from Travis Kelce.
Overall, the greatest tight end of all time, Travis Kelce, will continue to be great in 2023. No matter what the task, catching passes, hosting his podcast "New Heights," hosting "Saturday Night Live," or anything else this man wants to do, he will do it with greatness. The first ten years of Travis Kelce's career were never seen before, and I have the best yet to come.
