Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has received massive praise from his quarterback teammate Patrick Mahomes regarding his play on the field.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Mahomes called Kelce the best player he's ever thrown to. The 33-year-old is considered one of the best tight ends of all time.
"Travis is definitely the best player I've thrown to. With how big he is and the way he is able to run routes and make plays happen, is a really rare thing," Mahomes said.
The 27-year-old QB added that their off-field relationship is as great as inside it.
"Travis is definitely my closest teammate. I would say our friendship is more like a brotherhood-we're brothers now and our families get along together. I'm part of his family and he's part of mine."
The two have made it into three Super Bowls for the past four seasons, winning two in 2020 and 2023.

Kelce's manager and agents always take the time to remind him of that fact, and sometimes he gets the urge to ask the Chiefs for more money.
He also noted former teammate Tyreek Hill's contract with Miami worth $120 million, saying he makes two to three times less than that. But ultimately, it is a price to pay to be part of a consistent Super Bowl-contending team.
