OVERVIEW
In high school, Kelce was a three sport star, but his best sport was always football. He was a three-year letter winner at quarterback, and earned All-Lake Erie League honors after totaling 2,539 yards of total offense and 31 total touchdowns as a senior. Kelce’s uncle Don Blalock played football at Purdue and grandfather Don Blalock played football at Ohio. Travis is the younger brother of former Cincinnati Bearcats and current Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.


In his first year on campus, Travis redshirted. In his redshirt freshman year, Kelce participated in 11 games as the tight end. He caught one pass for three yards. Kelce also played some quarterback, strictly in a Wildcat role. He logged eight carries for 47 yards and two touchdowns. Kelce did not play in 2010, as he was suspended for a violation of team rules. Upon his return in 2011, Kelce caught 13 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. In his senior season, Kelce put himself on the NFL prospect map, as he caught 45 passes for 722 yards and eight touchdowns. He was selected to the All-Big East first team for his play.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Kelce has an ideal tight end frame. Athletic for his size, with great strength, and the ability to stretch the field vertically. Very physical run blocker, generates power from the lower half, and will move defenders off the ball. Plays with leverage. Wide catching radius, can adjust and make the difficult catch. Tough to bring down after the catch. Light feet, and has lined up in numerous different positions.
WEAKNESSES Suspended for an entire season for violating team rules. Only one season of production. Doesn't have blazing speed. Not a tremendously explosive athlete. Doesn't come out of his breaks all that well.
NFL COMPARISON Rob Gronkowski
BOTTOM LINE Kelce has been a tremendous run blocker throughout his career for the Bearcats, but really elevated his game as a receiver in his senior season. He isn't a tremendous athlete, but he does a lot of things very well. It's a deep tight end class, but Kelce's play suggests that he should be highly sought after.

JFC. You guys act like a 2nd ILB in a 3-4 is impossible to find. It's about dead last on the priority list for our defense.

I hope this isn't an indicator that Moeakis injury is serious. This is a pivotal year in his career. If he is able to have a healthy year, he basically kicks the injury prone label...if he gets hurt, he will never kick that label.

Yeah he must be terrible if the chiefsplanet couch coacbes say so. Who the hell do Dorsey and Andy think they are? NFL guys? Gronk sucks. I hope he is not like him.

You can never have enough weapons that work within 10-15 yards of the LOS when your qb is Alex Cassel.

But they weren't investments at the most important position.

By the time we make one, one of the best prospects in this draft (Barkley) will be off the board.

I full expect the Chiefs to invest in Tyler Wilson in the next two picks, however.
Barkley sucks. He panics under pressure and makes awful decisions. He is Matt Cassel.

the best current 34 teams in the league are proving that two very good ILBs go a long way in being competitive.

the 1 good ILB 1 slapdick ILB next to him has proven to be an awful combo, us Chiefs fans have seen that the last four years.

And TE was priority #2 huh?


So wait, you're saying that you prioritized getting a TE over getting an ILB this off season?

He hasn't done anything to assuage concerns about his durability. If anything, he's reaffirmed them.
