Colorado's Deion Sanders Hypes Travis Kelce: Chiefs TE 'is Him!!!!!!'

Travis Kelce earned the Kansas City Chiefs' first touchdown of Sunday's AFC Championship by catching a 19-yard pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the first quarter.

He also earned praise from University of Colorado Boulder football coach Deion Sanders.

Before helping the Chiefs out to early lead Sunday, Kelce had already played a key role in his team's sixth straight trip to the AFC title game.

The tight end hauled in five catches for 75 yards and two touchdowns in the Chiefs' 27-24 divisional round victory over the Buffalo Bills last Sunday.
