The Kansas City Chiefs offense has utilized the services of a great pass-catching tight end throughout the franchise’s history. Patrick Mahomes spoke with reporters on Wednesday, praising a tight end on his roster who has been making plays lately, but he is not named Travis Kelce.
“He (Noah Gray) does everything the right way. He’s learned a ton from Trav (Travis Kelce), and so he knows how to work within the rules of the offense and get himself open,” said Mahomes. “He’s just a guy that’s going to be in the right spot, so as a quarterback, if you’re going to give him the football, he’s going to make the play happen. He’s not going to talk a lot. He’s going to come in – he’s going to come to work, do his job, but at the same time, those are the guys you want on your team because you
know that he’s going to do whatever it takes to win.”
Gray scored his first two touchdowns this season in last Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, registering his first-career multi-touchdown performance. The two touchdown receptions on the season match his single-season career high from the 2023 season. He tied a single-game career-high with four receptions for 23 yards and two touchdowns.
