Travis Kelce recalls draft night as he gets ready to play his brother in round 2

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has told the story numerous times during his nine-year career; on draft night, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid called the Kelces — and wanted to talk to Jason first.

Reid, who had also drafted Jason (during his time with the Eagles), wanted to make sure he would guide his younger brother to professional success. Through nine seasons, it seemed whatever Jason has done has worked.

But there is another aspect of that draft night to know. It also has to do with the Kelce brothers — and the tight end not taken.
