Chiefs TE Travis Kelce adds another incredible accomplishment to resume

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is already one of the most decorated players to ever play the position, and he keeps adding to his Hall of Fame resume.

With a 27-yard catch in Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Kelce became just the fourth tight end in NFL history to top the 11,000 yard receiving mark, while also becoming the fastest player to ever reach that milestone at the position. 

Tony Gonzalez (15,127), Jason Witten (13,036) and Antonio Gates (11,841) are the only three tight ends ahead of him for yardage on the all-time list. 

It is possible — though unlikely — that he could pass Gates at some point this season, but with only six games to play after Sunday that would be a tall task. 

It took Kelce just 154 games to reach the 11,000-yard mark.

Gonzalez was the previous fastest to reach the mark, doing so in 191 games. 

Kelce just turned 34 earlier this season and might not have enough seasons to catch Gonzalez for the all-time yardage mark among tight ends, but he is also not showing any signs of slowing down.

His 2022 season was the second-best of his career with 1,338 yards. He entered Sunday's game on pace for 1,210 yards if he played a full 17-game schedule. 

Kelce has always been a favorite target of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but given how little production the team is getting from their wide receivers Kelce is taking on an even bigger role within the offense.
