There were two reasons why I was excited when tight end Travis Kelce officially announced he was returning to the Kansas City Chiefs for next season. Of course, there was the sentimental reaction. I was glad to hear that one of Kansas City’s all-time favorite players would be out on the field again, in a Chiefs uniform and not playing for another team.
But even more importantly, I was glad Kelce was returning because it meant the Chiefs would have a key piece back at what I think is Kansas City’s worst position group on the entire roster: tight end.
