I'll tell you what, I've never seen any football player more uncomfortable in a situation of having to make a one-on-one move on somebody than Patrick Mahomes in space.

All I can ask for is the opportunity to go out there and beat a man one on one. If you win your one-on-one matchups in this league, you're going to have a lot of success.
Travis Kelce /

There were times where I feel like I was just out there thinking too much instead of just playing instinctual football. It's definitely something I've been trying to work on.

It has started becoming a deal that wherever I go, people just want to see me dance. I try and keep it for the end zone, but sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do.

Throwing the ball around with pops, that was everything as a kid. If I could get out and do that every single day, I was happy as could be; like the day was the best day ever.

That's one of the things about the NFL is that you have small-market teams, big-market teams. I feel like the bigger market teams do kind of have an advantage in terms of off-the-field money.

Just about everybody in the world thinks the world of George Kittle. He's an unbelievable person with an unbelievable amount of energy. How he plays the game with the tenacity is one of a kind.

As a kid, I always dreamt of being an NFL quarterback. I remember being 10 years old and saying, 'Mom... I'm gonna throw a football in the NFL, and it's going to be a touchdown, and everybody's gonna love it.'

It's always fun being in the community, reaching out to not only the Kansas City faithful, but also people that really don't know that much about football and seeing the influence it could possibly have on them.

Copy Quote
First and foremost, it's a psychological issue and it's mental concentration - that's all it is. We're all big enough and strong enough to hold onto to the ball, it's just whether or not you want to focus in on it.

There were times where I feel like I was just out there thinking too much instead of just playing instinctual football. It's definitely something that I've been trying to work on here, just go out there and let it run.
Travis Kelce /
Instinctual
Copy Quote
Blocking is part physicality and part physics. You have to be the lower man and get your hands inside to control your opponent's mass. If you have short footwork, tight hands and if you play low, you can hold your own.

Gronk's going to run around there like a Clydesdale, run through everything, like a big boulder. I'm more a guy who can make people miss, break somebody down with a juke move or slide off tackles. Gronk can just break everything.

I wouldn't even say I'm really good at dancing, I'd just say I'm not shy to movement. At a young age, people would laugh at me moving. None of it looked like it should have been called a dance move. But it was just me being goofy.

Copy Quote
The biggest leap between the NFL and college football is the speed. That's something you hear often. But I think there's more to it than just the speed of the players - there's also the speed with which you have to process information around you.

My passion for this game is never going to change. You're always going to see me have that fieriness to me. That's just the only way I know how to play this game and I love it for that because I get to release that energy and that passion, that anger that I have.
Travis Kelce /
Release
Copy Quote
We had almost like our own little sports complex at the house. The driveway was like the pitching mound. We used to play one-on-one street hockey right there. My dad wanted to make sure we were ready to have some fun, so he was always out grabbing sports equipment.

The biggest thing in terms of route running for me is knowing what the defense is in, knowing the coverage. Once you know the coverage, now you can start manipulating the defense. You can start to kind of trick them in where you're going to go and where you want to get open.

I remember it was Dr. Seuss' birthday, and I got to read to the little ones and that was just an awesome experience. I remember when I was a young knucklehead and having that access to an after-school program in my community. It's something that hits home to me and something I wanted to always be a part of.

As soon as you get complacent with where you are in a game, that's where you come and then it bites you in the rear. So you just want to make sure that you're keeping that energy high, when guys are making plays you're getting excited for them and you're staying locked in through all 60 minutes of the game.

If you ever are fortunate enough to experience an open field in front of you as a tight end - and honestly, that's something not many guys at this position ever get to experience in the NFL - the one thing that you know for certain is that there are people faster than you who are right behind you and want you to fumble the ball.

Copy Quote
Being able to get a big body to change direction, I think that's huge. I don't think a lot of tight ends incorporate that enough. I got a lot of that from playing hockey when I was younger, being able to play on the inside and outside of skates, as well as on the basketball court, being able to put my foot into the ground and crossover.

You don't really see tight ends out here doing dances in the end zone. But if you see me at night out on the town, I'm having a good time - I'm always dancing. It started in the backyard, not to necessarily showboat - but to be a showman. It's part of how we grew up, how we played the game, and now that I'm in the NFL, why not break it out?
