After the Chiefs‘ recent preseason bout against the Saints, Travis and his brother had a special guest on their show, none other than the legendary TE, Rob.

Rob chimed in, saying that Travis’ arrival in the league amped up his game and the competition, as both of them started hitting 1000 yards per season.

While praising him, Rob said he couldn’t slack off at all because of the youngster’s entry. He mentioned this push has made him better, and he really appreciates it.

As the conversation delved deeper, the 4x SB champ brought up Travis’s outstanding 2018 season. Kelce had an impressive 1416 receiving yards, surpassing George Kittle, who had 1377 receiving yards. This left Rob trailing by quite a margin, by both Kittle and Travis. He energetically mentioned how this motivated and even irked him simultaneously, as the young players were taking the spotlight.

Notably, Rob also mentioned how the 2-time Super Bowl champion turned him into a competitive player. He further expressed appreciation for how Travis is putting Tight Ends on the map with his incredible performances, including a fantastic season last year, recording 100 catches.

Travis has dominated the training camps held in the past few weeks. He remains one of the most ruthless TEs in the league, and will surely take his team to the peak this year as well, with a slightly more compact roster.
