Kelce and Mahomes have truly been a magical duo for Kansas City Chiefs. They’ve gone on to contribute to some of the major wins in the team’s history. However, with their greatness, there is also an unorthodox form of play involved. While speaking to several NBA HOFers, Mahomes spoke about a weird habit Kelce has that might get him into trouble one day.
Mahomes made a reference to their coordination and how he had to get used to a certain habit of Kelce’s. He mentioned how the tight end would never run the routes decided for him. While speaking about Kelce’s unusual playing style, he said, “It’s because he never runs the actual route that Coach Reid calls. We just let Travis do whatever he wants out there on the football field. Yeah, he’s good enough to not get in trouble I think that’s how he’s been his whole entire life because he can just kind of get by and use his athletics but not get in trouble.”
