This has to be one of the most confusing Super Bowl ever as far as predictions are concerned. There has been a divide between Brock Purdy and Patrick Mahomes’ fans and now, people have started to ask the question of who the better Tight end is. Is it Travis Kelce or is it George Kittle?
Ahead of the mega-event, we witnessed the bromance between the two TEs, highlighting their admiration for each other’s game. Both Kelce and Kittle could not hold back from praising one another, with the Chiefs’ TE emphasizing why his counterpart got to be part of the First team All-Pro this season, even ahead of someone as experienced as Travis Kelce himself.

Glazer wanted the athletes to tell people what they liked about each other and pulled Kelce into focus.
He asked the Chiefs TE about what fascinates him about George Kittle and Kelce had great compliments to give the 30-year-old star, stating, “Man it’s a, there’s a reason he’s he’s labelled as the First Team All Pro man.
