NFL: 27 most likely non-QB future Hall of Famers

Travis Kelce happens to be playing during the golden age of NFL tight ends, and so long as Patrick Mahomes is his quarterback he has the chance to perhaps go down as one of the greatest to ever play the position.

Kelce, 31, has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for five consecutive seasons and 2020 was his most productive yet with 105 receptions for a career-high 1,416 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Through the first seven seasons of his career, Kelce has already been named a First-Team All-Pro three times, a Second-Team All-Pro twice, and has made six consecutive Pro Bowls, in addition to winning his first Super Bowl champion last season as a focal point of the Chiefs’ aerial attack.

There’s a chance that Kelce could play at least five more seasons, but he has already left an indelible mark on the NFL’s record book. Kelce has produced five 1,000-plus yard receiving seasons, the most of any tight end in league history, and he also owns the record for most 100-reception seasons by a tight end and most receiving yards in a single season.

Kelce remains a vital cog in the Chiefs’ offensive machine and now has a chance to win consecutive Super Bowl championships.

If Kelce would retire tomorrow, he’d have a strong chance to be a Hall of Famer one day, but the longer he and Mahomes are mainstays in the Chiefs’ offense, the stronger his case will be to be considered one of the sport’s all-time greats.
