3. With Gronk retired, Travis Kelce is the best tight end in the game.
When Rob Gronkowski was an integral part of the New England offense there was a debate on who was the best tight end in the league – Gronk or KC’s Travis Kelce. Now that Gronk has retired, the debate is over and Kelce is clearly the league’s most effective tight end.
It will be very interesting to see how Bill Belichick goes about defending Kelce. If he decides to double team Kelce, things will open up that much more on the outside for Hill and Watkins. If he decides to leave a single man on Kelce, it will be easy for Kelce to prove why he is the best tight end.
Currently, Kelce leads the Chiefs in targets (100), receptions (68) and receiving yards (923).
