An ode to Travis Kelce

(sing to the tune of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer)

You know Shannon and Olsen and Jimmy and Witten

Tony, and Newsome and Shockey and Kittle.

But do you recall

The greatest tight end of all?

 

Travis Michael Kelce

The best tight end in the NFL

And if you disagree

Then you can go straight to hell

All of the other NFL fans

Are jealous of Kansas City

Compared to Travis Kelce,

Their team's Tight End is shitty

Then one foggy January

Travis came to say:

"You got to fight, for your right,

to parrrr-tay!"

Then how the fans all loved him

As they shouted out with glee

Travis you're the best Tight End

And you dunk better than Tony G!

Consider the facts:

• Kelce leads the NFL in receiving yards (1250 yards, 70 more than the 2nd best receiver overall and 433 more than the second most by a tight end)
• His 1250 yards this season are just 127 yards from tying the most receiving yards in a single season by a tight end (1377, set by George Kittle in 2018). 
  
• Kelce is the only tight end in NFL history to record 5 seasons of 1000+ receiving yards
• Even better, he has done it 5 STRAIGHT seasons, an NFL record
  
• Kelce has 7,715 total receiving yards in basically 7 seasons (he only played in one game his rookie year before being lost to the season for injury). That is 1100 yards per season! 
• And it is not like Patrick Mahomes is padding his stats - he caught passes from Checkdown King Alex Smith for 5 seasons!
  
• Among some of the greatest tight ends, he has the highest average receiving yards per game:  

Pretty clear to me that Kelce is having an historic season and is going to the Hall of Fame!

Happy Holidays!
