At a team meeting early in the week leading up to the playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had a moment he’ll never forget.
“Coach [Andy] Reid started rambling off the captains and said, ‘On the offensive side, Alex and Travis.’”
Reid called his name.
“My eyes kind of opened up and I was like, ‘Whoa. I didn’t even know I was in the discussion.’ I can think of three or four guys on the offensive side of the ball that I know I respect and that I would have put up there,” Kelce recalled of that moment.
