Chiefs Send Strong Travis Kelce Message Before Colts Game

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Hugh Green | Last updated Nov 23, 2025 11:41 AM ET

Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce has had an unbelievable career in the NFL thus far. He is playing in his 13th year with the Chiefs since they drafted him in the third round in 2013. In total, Kelce has played in 185 games with 1,054 receptions for 12,782 yards and 81 touchdowns.

In his career, Kelce has 10 Pro Bowl appearances, four First Team All-Pro selections and has won three Super Bowls with head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

So far this season, things have not gone smoothly for Kansas City as it sits outside of a playoff spot heading into Week 12 with a 5-5 record.

Despite the up-and-down first 10 games as a team, Kelce has been his normal self in 2025. He has 50 receptions for 631 yards and four touchdowns. This includes his scoring grab against the Denver Broncos on Nov. 16, a 21-yard touchdown reception that was his 84th total career touchdown.

That broke the franchise record for most total touchdowns in a career, as Kelce passed former running back Priest Holmes.

On Sunday, before the Chiefs take on the Indianapolis Colts, the team sent a message about its tight end on its X account.

"Best in the biz," the caption read.

The video of Kelce was of him walking into Arrowhead Stadium for the matchup against the Colts. He was wearing a full Jordan Brand outfit, including a pair of Jordan shoes with an all-black matching jacket and pants.

He has long been known as one of, if not the, best tight ends in the league, and the Chiefs believe so, too.

Kansas City takes on the Colts at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday on CBS.
