The Kansas City tight end has had a slow start to the season.
Kelce finished with four catches for 30 yards in Sunday’s 22-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons, which marked his best stat line through three games this year. It still paled in comparison to what Kelce has consistently produced in seasons prior.
The 12th-year veteran has been shouldering much of the blame for his lackluster performances thus far, with NBC analyst Rodney Harrison even going so far to claim he’s not a “great” player anymore.“He’s busy, he’s got a lot on his plate,” Harrison said.
This is such a bs talking point. Because if you actually paid attention to Trav, he’s 150% locked in on football. Outside of the podcast , we do not see him. All of the “stuff” you see him involved with was done during the off season. I’m tired.Kelce, who turns 35 in October, is coming off a down season in which he recorded 989 receiving yards, his first sub-1,000 yard campaign since 2015.
On a crucial third down in the fourth quarter, for example, Patrick Mahomes found Kelce on a short yardage pass, one that Kelce normally would have turned into a first down. This time, however, he couldn’t hold onto the ball as Falcons defensive back Jessie Bates came from behind to punch it out.Kristen Wong is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
