The Kansas City Chiefs have relied on the connection between Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes to help lift their offense to new heights in recent seasons after the departure of dynamo wide receiver Tyreek Hill in 2022.
Though the duo’s accomplishments are many, Kelce’s star was born before Mahomes took over as the Chiefs’ starting quarterback, during Alex Smith’s tenure as Kansas City’s signal-caller between 2013 and 2017.
Kelce caught up with Smith during a recent interview on Sirius XM and spoke about his relationship with Mahomes ahead of the Chiefs’ championship defense campaign.
Check out what Kelce had to say in this video, which was posted by SiriusXM NFL Radio on Twitter:

Kelce’s relationship with Mahomes is one-of-a-kind and has been a key part of the pair’s success over the years.
