Kansas City Chiefs fans adamant they’ve found their new Travis Kelce when he retires after career milestone
As Travis Kelce approaches retirement, Kansas City Chiefs supporters are thrilled with their backup tight end.
Following a Hall of Fame career, Kelce, 35, has appeared to be slowing down this year.
Additionally, Kelce’s backup has shown the Chiefs promise this season.
After being selected in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 25-year-old Noah Gray is currently in his fourth season with the Chiefs.
He is beginning to establish himself as a top tight end and in September inked a three-year, $19.5 million contract deal.
In the loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Gray grabbed two touchdown passes.

An admirer of the Chiefs wrote, “He is a great backfill for Travis when he retires.”
“I fear our best tight end,” said another.
