If you’ve been reading along with the series about Building Patrick Mahomes’ offense or, y’know, have seen the Kansas City Chiefs play in the last few years, you may have noticed a reality about this team that keeps showing up: Travis Kelce’s rare skill set.
It gets thrown around a lot, but I don’t think it is appreciated enough. Much is asked of Kelce, and he continues to rise to the occasion. One of the staples of the offense is to isolate Kelce on the backside of the formation, typically in 3x1 sets.
The Chiefs need to break tendencies of their 3x1 looks if they keep running RPOs out of them.
