Chiefs star Travis Kelce became the fifth tight end in NFL history to reach 10,000 career receiving yards with his efforts in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Broncos.
The historic moment came when Patrick Mahomes found Kelce for a 38-yard catch in the first quarter of the contest. Appropriately, Kelce made the grab right over the middle and scrambled up the field for a sizable gain–a play that NFL fans have seen the Kansas City great make a number of times throughout his career.
Coming into the game, Kelce needed just 26 yards to join an exclusive club of tight ends in the 10,000-yard club. The 10-year-veteran is now among elite company alongside counterparts Tony Gonzalez (15,127 yards), Jason Witten (13,046), Antonio Gates (11,841) and Shannon Sharpe (10,060) as the only tight ends to reach the milestone.
