“Would be unfair”: Travis Kelce comments on Rob Gronkowski dream of playing on the same team

Travis Kelce has expressed his thoughts on former star tight end Rob Gronkowski's dream of playing on the same team. Both have been hailed as two of the best tight ends in the NFL, with three and four Super Bowl titles respectively. Despite Gronkowski's retirement in 2022, he recently claimed that teaming up with Kelce would be lethal, sparking debates among fans over the right to the GOAT title.

Travis Kelce believes it would have been unfair if he and Rob Gronkowski had played on the same team, as they are two of the best tight ends. In a podcast interview, Julian Edelman asked Gronkowski about the possibility of playing alongside Kelce. "I think we would be perfect to be on the same team," Gronkowski said. "I feel like we kind of counter each other, we are different players. His aspect of the game, how he can line up anywhere, how he can motion to any point on the field at any given time. We would compliment each other unbelievably and I would say we would have been one of the best duos to play. We would have broken the record.”

Kelce responded to Gronkowski's comment on social media, stating that it would be unfair. "Dudes…. Same Team!?!? Would be unfair!! Just imagined myself lateraling the ball down field to Rob Gronkowski," Kelce wrote. Kansas City secured a 28-18 road win over the San Francisco 49ers, securing a 6-0 season record, following a bye week. Kelce, in his New Heights podcast, emphasized the team's strength and Andy Reid's performance.
"I'm not sure," Kelce said, via SI. "That's his secret sauce, man. He's got the formula, man. He has a unique way to find routines that challenge everybody in the building to be accountable, if that makes sense. Like, he has a way to challenge the offensive line. He has a way to challenge the receivers, you know, knowing that a lot of guys are banged up. He has a way to challenge Pat Mahomes and on top of that, he has a way to challenge the coaches to be able to put us in successful positions.”
He continued, "I think [if] you give him that extra week of preparation to think about it and really put a game plan together, Coach Reid does it better than anybody, in my opinion, and I think that record proves it.” Kelce has played a smaller role in the Chiefs offense this season, completing 28 receptions for 245 yards but not reaching the endzone, as Kansas City prepares to face the Las Vegas Raiders.
