"While the swirl of chatter around Travis Kelce on Christmas Day was on whether he plans to retire at the end of the season, the 11-time Pro Bowl tight end quietly moved up to No. 9 on the NFL all-time receiving list. Kelce's fifth and last catch in the Kansas City Chiefs' 20-13 loss to the Denver Broncos was No. 1,077, pushing him past Anquan Boldin. With two more receptions in the Chiefs' regular-season finale, Kelce will surpass Terrell Owens in the No. 8 spot."
"Kelce, 36, admitted he was feeling reflective afterward. "A whole lot of emotions," he told reporters. "You've got everybody in the world watching you. You get to go out there with the young guys on prime-time television. Young guys getting an opportunity to taste what this NFL life is like." For Kelce, the NFL life has been fulfilling. He's won three Super Bowls and is all but certain to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. And he's played his entire 13-year career with the Chiefs."
