26. Comparisons to the Chiefs' legendary tight end Tony Gonzalez, who retired in 2013 after 17 seasons in the league, started early for Travis.
In 2015, when the chatter about whether he would, in fact, surpass Tony's achievements—and how disappointing it would be if he didn't—was heating up, Travis said he paid the noise no mind.
"Nobody puts bigger expectations on me than myself," he told Complex. "I want to have the greatest season statistically that a tight end has ever had."
On Sept. 29, Travis surpassed Tony to become the Chiefs' all-time leader in receptions with his 917th catch.
"It's crazy how things always come full circle," Travis said on New Heights. "Being at the top of the leaderboard with the Kansas City Chiefs who have been around since the '60s, one of the beginning organizations that made it all the way through that are still at their peak. And a lot of that is due to the rich history they have and to a guy like Tony Gonzalez, who has been a mentor to me. I f--king love the guy."
27. Of Travis' many accomplishments, keeping his house in order on his own isn't one of them.
"He can't clean," mom Donna Kelce told Extra in September. "He can't cook.”
But perhaps hosting a special someone when she's in town has served as extra motivation to get it together.
"He's getting a little better," Donna acknowledged. "I think he's getting some help."
