It has been back-to-back days of sweltering heat on the campus of Missouri Western State in St. Joseph. Let’s just say those are the perfect circumstances for things to get chippy — even between Kansas City Chiefs teammates. 11-year veteran tight end Travis Kelce found himself mixing it up both Friday and Saturday.
First, on Friday, during a seven-on-seven period, the tight end caught a pass from backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert. Several Chiefs defenders poked and prodded at the ball, including defensive backs Dicaprio Bootle and Bryan Cook. Kelce responded by striking Bootle’s helmet and shoving Cook.
