Chiefs head coach Andy Reid praised rookie TE Travis Kelce, comparing him to former Giants, Saints and Panthers TE Jeremy Shockey in terms of style of play and potential impact.
Reid plans to make opposing defenses honor Kelce's speed, having him line up in a variety of spots including split out wide. The Chiefs have revealed plenty of two-tight end formations during their offseason program with Kelce and Anthony Fasano both getting looks as receivers. While we're excited for Kelce's long-term prospects, we doubt he makes much of a fantasy impact in 2013. May 25 - 10:43 AM

Travis Kelce - TE - Chiefs

Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed No. 63 pick Travis Kelce will compete for the team's starting tight end job.

Kelce is far more talented (and healthy) than Tony Moeaki. His college tape also suggests Kelce is already just as good a blocker as Anthony Fasano. "He’s going to go in there and compete and we’ll see how it all works out," Reid said of Kelce. "He gives you another offensive threat, somebody that the defense will have to honor with his speed and athletic ability. You can move him out as a wide receiver and he’s a legitimate receiver in that spot."

Travis Kelce - TE - Chiefs

Chiefs selected Cincinnati TE Travis Kelce with the No. 63 overall pick.

Tony Moeaki may want to start packing his bags. Kelce (6-foot-4 7/8, 255) is a sure-handed receiver and flashed dominant in-line blocking ability for the Bearcats, reminiscent of Heath Miller. He lasted this long due to character concerns; Kelce was suspended for the entire 2010 season for reasons thought to be drug-related. Kelce caught 45 balls for 722 yards (16.0 YPR) and eight touchdowns as a senior. At his April 4 Pro Day, Kelce ran 4.62 with a 37-inch vertical and 10-foot-4 broad jump -- better numbers than both Tyler Eifert and Zach Ertz. A pro-ready blocker, the athletic measurables suggest Kelce could become an elite all-around tight end if his head is on straight. He has an awful lot of long-term fantasy potential.

Travis Kelce - TE - Chiefs

The New York Daily News believes there's a "strong possibility" the Jets select a tight end on day two, and calls Cincinnati's Travis Kelce a name to watch.

With Jeff Cumberland their current "starter," the Jets have a massive need at tight end. Kelce could be a possibility for the Jets at No. 39 or via a trade down. Stanford's Zach Ertz is probably the best remaining available tight end, but Kelce is a close second.

Travis Kelce - TE - Chiefs

NFL Network's Mike Mayock expects Cincinnati TE Travis Kelce to be a second-round pick.

Mayock isn't the game-tape guru he once was, but he remains highly plugged-in around the league and his draft-round projections are typically on point. At 6-foot-5, 255, Kelce lit up his April 4 Pro Day with a 4.60-4.62 forty time and 37-inch vertical. "Most people have bought into him," Mayock said of Kelce, who has some off-field and durability concerns. "The tape is pretty darn good."

Travis Kelce - TE - Chiefs

Cincinnati TE Travis Kelce ran an unofficial 4.60 in the 40-yard dash at his Pro Day on Thursday.

Kelce also posted a 37-inch vertical and ran all drills asked of him after hernia surgery caused him to miss the Senior Bowl and the Combine. The 23-year-old is a very physical run blocker and can stretch the field vertically. However, character issues may push Kelce into the middle of the second day of the draft.

Travis Kelce - TE - Chiefs

One NFL evaluator told Pro Football Weekly that Cincinnati TE Travis Kelce is a "trainwreck character-wise" and predicted the baggage will push Kelce into the third round "at least."

Kelce was suspended for the entire 2010 season after breaking team rules ahead of the Sugar Bowl. The reasoning for the suspension was never revealed, but his transgression must have been pretty major. Kelce, the younger brother of Eagles starting center Jason, is sitting out the Combine due to an abdominal tear.

Travis Kelce - TE - Chiefs

Cincinnati TE Travis Kelce is not working out at the Combine due to an abdominal tear.

The injury occurred prior to the Senior Bowl. Kelce, one of the top names in a strong tight end class, tallied 45 receptions for 772 yards and eight touchdowns as a senior. It's unclear whether Kelce will work out before April's draft.
