Kansas City is coming off of a brutal Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in which they fell behind the eight ball early and were never able to get back in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Much has been made about the Chiefs&#8217; faltering receiving core, which hasn&#8217;t been helped by the decline of\u00a0Travis Kelce, their future Hall of Fame tight end. While Kelce is still capable of the occassional highlight, it&#8217;s clear he&#8217;s not the same player that he was during his peak in the late 2010s and early 2020s.<\/p>\n<p>Still, that isn&#8217;t stopping quarterback\u00a0Patrick Mahomes\u00a0from having faith in Kelce for the upcoming campaign. Recently, Mahomes spoke on\u00a0what he expects to see\u00a0out of Kelce in 2025.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c\u201dI expect Travis to be Travis,\u201d said Mahomes, per Adam Teicher of ESPN. \u201cObviously, the play on the field&#8217;s going to be high. He&#8217;s going to go out there with the mentality that we&#8217;re trying to win the Super Bowl this year with us falling short this last year. Then, I think more than anything, it&#8217;s the leadership that he brings to the building every single day. How he leads by example and how he leads vocally, it&#8217;s a big impact on our football team, so I expect him to play at a high level and then be an even better leader.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mahomes also added that \u201cFrom what I&#8217;ve seen \u2026 he&#8217;s ready to go. He&#8217;s been putting in the work this offseason, and he&#8217;s excited for another chance to make a run at it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs could certainly use all of the production they can get out of Kelce this year, as they&#8217;ve sustained several key injuries and free agency losses of members of their receiving core over the past few years.<\/p>\n<p>While Mahomes remains the league&#8217;s best talent, even the best quarterbacks still need someone to throw the ball to.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs are slated to open up their 2025 season against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has lofty expectations in mind for Travis Kelce this season.
