The San Francisco 49ers are in for a big game this Sunday. Many big names such as Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes will be crossing their path and make things hard for them. The Chiefs have been on fire this season, and we all know the Mahomes-Kelce connection is a big reason behind it. This is why the 49ers would be concerned about this dynamic duo and their linebacker, Fred Warner, depicted the concerns.
Warner recently released a quick Q&A video. In that clip, the man answered a lot of questions quickly, including some about Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
Warner was asked what thoughts he had while blocking Kelce in such high-pressure games. This was a bit difficult question, but the man conveyed his experience and feelings in three words. The LB stated that Kelce is “Big, Elusive, Savvy.” This was a sign of appreciation for the TE, who is currently in top form. We all know he had a rough start to the season, but he exploded in week 4 and his train has been on track since then.

Well, in short, it is safe to say that it is definitely not going to happen. The proof, you may ask, is simple: the scoreboard from the 2024 Super Bowl final, which is indeed a solid explanation for this claim. You might be aware that the final game between the Chiefs and the 49ers was rather tough. But in that intense game, Travis Kelce was on fire, with nine catches and 95 yards on the ground.
This simply implies that super fit athletes like him will only flourish under pressure rather than fumble. What are your opinions on Fred Warner’s comments? Do you believe the man is right about Travis Kelce?
