Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has built a legendary chemistry with tight end Travis Kelce, and the dynamic duo is hard at work in St. Joseph as they prepare for the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2023 season at training camp.
One play from Wednesday’s practice showed a glimpse of big gains to come when Mahomes completed a pass to Kelce on a crossing route, leaving plenty of room for the All-Pro tight end to show off his remarkable speed as he headed downfield.

Kelce was eventually chased out of bounds by safety Bryan Cook, but only after gaining a huge chunk of yards against the Chiefs defense. Though not exactly known for his raw footspeed, the 11-year veteran really got moving on this particular play, and opposing defenders who see the highlight are sure to dread the day they have to try tackling Kelce when he has a full head of steam behind him.
Watch for the Mahomes to Kelce connection to continue bearing fruit for Kansas City’s offense next season, and don’t be surprised if the universally acclaimed pass catcher seems to find another gear with the ball in his hands in 2023.
