The Kansas City Chiefs have won two of the last four Super Bowls, and therefore there is talk that they could soon become a dynasty.

Some faces have come and gone, but the two mainstays for them during that span have been quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce.

In not too long a period of time, the two have become legitimate all-time greats, and their window for more success is still seemingly wide open.

Kelce was the No. 63 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, and in three seasons at the University of Cincinnati, there wasn’t a whole lot to suggest he would be a mover and shaker at the next level.

He got almost no playing time as a rookie, but he put up over 850 yards in both of the next two seasons while earning his first Pro Bowl nod in 2015.

From there, he has been nothing short of excellent, as he has made the Pro Bowl every year and hasn’t gone under 1,000 receiving yards in a season.

He already has had the most seasons of at least 1,000 yards by a tight end, as well as the most yards in a single season by a tight end, which he accomplished in 2020.

Like Kelce, Mahomes barely played as a rookie, but he quickly exploded, winning the regular-season MVP award in just his second NFL season.

The two will have to get it done this coming season without JuJu Smith-Schuster, who was Kansas City’s most productive wide receiver in 2022.

But of course, the duo will be up for the challenge.
