After breaking the NFL playoff receiving record Travis Kelce thanked LeBron James for his support.
Travis Kelce adds to his legend among NFL greats with each match. Despite media scrutiny at the start of the year Kelce has shown everyone that he is more than capable of delivering results. The 35-year-old helped Kansas City make it to the AFC Championship Game for seven straight years entering NFL history club.
During the divisional playoffs Kelce earned a career-high 117 receiving yards against Houston and 60% of all Chiefs yards. His NFL history ranking rose to the top with his ninth playoff game of reaching 100 receiving yards to edge past Jerry Rice’s total.
One X broadcasting star LeBron James used Twitter to show his support for Kelce’s incredible achievement. Like a fellow native from Ohio the Kelce brothers started to pay attention when James shared this news on his New Heights podcast.
“Now, see, this got me going. Travis Kelce heard his native roots because he loved it when he spoke. “Thanks, ‘Bron.”
Travis Kelce underlines that his team victories continue to be his top priority. He told the podcast “Every performance success will feel good once I retire from football.” When I finish my career I can celebrate my achievements by saying “Great job brother.” At this moment all I want to do is defeat the Buffalo Bills. I don’t prioritize breaking Jerry Rice’s records and will still succeed without them. And, you know, shoutout to Jerry Rice. I’m not saying that to downplay that.”
The seven-time All-Pro and two-time Super Bowl champion led his team to unprecedented success during the last ten years. The Chiefs build for history by trying to win a third straight NFL championship that no team has achieved before. The Buffalo Bills stand as major rivals ready to face the AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs in their upcoming title bout.
Kelce remains both proud and driven when he accepts LeBron James’ high praise for his work. Being recognized as one of football’s greatest players at his position does not overshadow Tony Kelce’s real passion for championships with his jersey mates. The Kansas City squad prepares for battle once more and Travis Kelce wants to prove he plays his best football when everything is at stake.
