Kansas City Chiefs: Five Players to Watch In 2015

This guy should be on everybody’s radar this year. Drafted by the Chiefs in 2013, Travis Kelce had a breakout season last year. He became a huge part of the offense early in the season, and the Chiefs relied on him when they couldn’t rely on the Wide Receivers.

At 6’5″ and 255 pounds, Kelce is a rather large man that can shake off blocks off the line, and break tackles for big YAC gains. He’s pretty quick for a big tight-end too, which makes him a duel threat. In fact, Kelce might as well have been a wide receiver last year, because he led the team in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.

Kelce will play a similar role in 2015, but I don’t think we’ll see him catch as many passes as he did last year. With the addition of Jeremy Maclin, the Chiefs now have a true receiver that will make plays on the offense. Kelce will still be heavily used in the end-zone and on short third down plays where he can shake off a block and catch a quick pass.
