Just in Travis Kelce Delivers 7-Word Message on Chiefs New Rookie TE

The Kansas City Chiefs loaded up on offensive talent in the 2024 NFL draft. After trading up to land wide receiver Xavier Worthy and offensive tackle Kingsley Suamataia, Kansas City drafted former TCU tight end Jared Wiley.

On the May 1 episode of “New Heights,” Chiefs star Travis Kelce offered his first-hand assessment of the Chiefs’ new tight end. Before Kansas City selected Wiley in the fourth round, the 6-foot-6, 249-pound pass-catching weapon joined Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes for a workout in Texas.

Retired All-Pro center Jason Kelce referred to Wiley as “a big old Clydesdale” to which his younger brother and co-host agreed. “He’s a galloper,” Travis said, and “he’s a big dude.”

While Travis is spending as much time as possible with girlfriend Taylor Swift before her “Eras” tour resumes, he never misses an offseason workout with Mahomes and quarterbacks coach Jeff Christensen.

“I always get down to Texas this time of the year to try and throw with Pat, and get things going again, get the engine all fired up for OTAs and when we get back to KC,” Travis said. “Big Jeff Christensen is Pat’s out-of-the-facility QB coach, makes sure he’s getting those fundamentals right. Gets him going through certain drills. So, we always take our family picture here.”

In addition to meeting Wiley, who was “having some fun and looking good,” Travis noted, Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson joined the workout. “It was good seeing them,” he concluded.
