What was initially viewed as a down year for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has resulted in a 10th straight Pro Bowl nod for Kelce. The 35-year-old tight end got off to a slower start than usual in 2024—he didn't score his first touchdown until Oct. 27 and recorded his first 100-yard game the first week of November—but is still the Chiefs' leading receiver and once again a Pro Bowler. As the season went on, Kelce set the Chiefs' franchise record for touchdown catches, continuing to cement his Hall of Fame-worthy resumé.

Of all these accomplishments, little matters significantly to Kelce if the Chiefs aren't winning. Kelce's desire to win over putting up numbers and statistics is what Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy believes separates him from other players.
