Travis Kelce could end up as the greatest tight in NFL history.
He’s already the best of all-time in the video game world.
With Madden ratings rolling out all over social media, Kelce was crowned with a stunning 99.
For some pros, one 99 is enough for the rest of their life.
For Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl winner and boyfriend of Taylor Swift, it’s the fifth time he’s earned a 99 and that stat sends him into history.
No other tight end since Madden’s creation has accomplished the feat, leaving No. 87 for the Kansas City Chiefs standing on top of the video game mountain.
Kelce’s latest 99 drew the attention of Patrick Mahomes, who retweeted a Chiefs post that featured a photo of a smiling Kelce and trumpeted the fact that the KC tight end is almost unguardable in Madden.
“99 problems but a Madden rating ainât one,” the Chiefs tweeted. “Welcome back to the 99 Club, @tkelce!”
Mahomes also highlighted Madden ratings for three members of the Chiefs’ offensive line, who were rewarded with rankings between 90 and 92, and an even stronger mark for Chris Jones.
“Highest-rated DT in the league. Thatâs our CE0,” the Chiefs tweeted.
Kelce is coming off a down year in 2023 but he still helped lead Kansas City to a Super Bowl championship repeat.
The nine-time Pro Bowler caught 93 passes for 984 yards and five touchdowns in 15 regular-season games.
In the playoffs, Kelce caught 32 balls for 355 yards and three TDs, showing improved form as Kansas City leaned on his veteran expertise during multiple win-or-go-home games.
Like Mahomes, NFL and Chiefs fans were impressed by Kelce’s latest round of history.
“Well done,” one fan tweeted.
“So amazing,” a second fan posted.
The big Chief might eventually be on top of the list for the best tight end of all time.
Paired with Mahomes and working under head coach Andy Reid, Kelce has gone from a questionable third-round pick to a future Hall of Famer.
He sprinted to 11,000 yards faster than any other tight end in NFL history and is on pace to pass Tony Gonzalez for the all-time mark.
The biggest question for Kelce right now is how long he’ll keep playing and how high he’ll reach.
He already has three Super Bowl rings and is returning in 2024 for a potential Chiefs three-peat.
Entering a Week 1 contest against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, Kelce has 11,328 career receiving yards and 74 TDs.
While Kelce enjoys his 99, Louis-Rees Zammit is learning the ways of the NFL and hoping to make the team’s roster out of training camp.
