Overview

• Kansas City’s updated depth chart on August 5 officially confirmed Noah Gray as Travis Kelce’s primary backup and heir apparent.
• After shedding roughly 25 pounds during an offseason training retreat in Boca Raton, Kelce arrived at Missouri Western noticeably leaner.
• Kelce has dismissed last season’s Super Bowl LIX loss as “trash,” deflecting any talk of retirement.
• At camp he has embraced a mentorship role, guiding younger tight ends through finishing drills and route techniques.
• Undrafted rookie Jake Briningstool has also impressed in one-on-one drills, adding another layer to the team’s tight end competition.
