Travis Kelce Dominates Chiefs 2026 Training Camp

Entering his 14th NFL season with Kansas City, 36-year-old tight end Travis Kelce delivered an intense training camp performance in St. Joseph.

Head coach Andy Reid revealed that Kelce practiced so hard that coaches literally had to yank him off the field just to force him to take a breather.

Linebacker Nick Bolton praised Kelce's daily motor, noting that younger players have no excuses to take reps off when a veteran star works that hard.
