ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Travis Kelce is a tight end in name only.
Kansas City's leader in receptions is as likely to make plays from the backfield and the 'X' or 'Z' receiver positions as he is from a traditional tight-end alignment.
"He is a route-running tight end and he runs routes like a receiver," Defensive Coordinator Joe Woods said.
It was from one of the outside spots that Kelce scored on an 80-yard touchdown reception against the Broncos last Dec. 25, turning a bubble-screen reception that began one yard behind the line of scrimmage into an untouched sprint down the right sideline.
