Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has had an unusually slow start to the regular season, tallying only 15 catches for 158 yards through four weeks.
Kelce has been one of the most dominant tight ends in the NFL over the past 11 years, setting records seemingly at will. Fans expect greatness from the All-Pro tight end, and many are beginning to wonder if Kelce’s off-season extracurriculars are beginning to affect his production.
However, players around the league believe he is due to break his recent slump.
On Thursday, legendary Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez spoke with NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” and shared his optimism amid Kelce’s lackluster start in Kansas City’s 2024 campaign.
Check out what Gonzalez had to say in this video, which was posted to Twitter by “Good Morning Football”:

With such high praise coming from a Hall of Fame tight end, it seems that it will only be a matter of time until Kansas City’s superstar gets back on track.
Expect Kelce to have a big game this week as the Chiefs the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football”.
