Kelce "I wasn't at full strength last year"
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...rength-in-2014
Travis Kelce became a revelation in 2014 and a cult figure for many Kansas City Chiefs fans. The tight end -- referred to by admirers as "Zeus" for his Greek-god-like physique and ability -- snagged 67 passes for 862 yards and five touchdown catches, leading the Chiefs in all three categories. Kelce told WKRK-FM in Cleveland on Thursday that he accomplished all that without being fully healthy. "Everybody last year thought I wasn't getting the reps I was supposed to at the beginning of the year but in reality I only had about a month before training camp where I was allowed to start running," he said, via Arrowheadpride.com. "If I went out there playing more snaps than I did, I mean who knows. I might not have been able to make it. My knee still wasn't full strength last year, which is why I'm excited about this year. Now I get the time to take a full offseason and get my legs ready and get my upper body and my explosiveness back that I know I really had. I didn't really feel that comfortable out there on the field but we made it work." If Kelce can turn in a performance that makes him the darling of the Fantasy Football world and earns him the nickname Zeus without being at full strength, well, hello 2015 thought his quotes were interesting. i know there was a lot of speculation here on why it took kelce so long to get his reps. alot of people thought health concerns, some thought blocking, playbook, reid being a dumbass etc. i'm excited to see what he can do with a full offseason. |

Fumbles can be fixed. To want that to improve is fine but to see kelce as anything other than massive potential and a gift is crazy. Give me his fumbles and all his talent over all those trash te.
We need some on field attitude. People didn't want Houston because of his off field attitude. Fumbles and attitude can be fixed. People like mcgrath can't be fixed. They are roll players on their best day. |

I find it interesting that Kelce suffered the same injury that Clowney did to their knees (microfracture surgery), yet a lot of people have presumed Clowney may very well never be the same again.
Of course they play two different positions, but as the #1 rated blocking TE last year, I'm not sure anyone can say Kelce was at a loss for power. Still think we need to and will draft another TE to tag with him and Harris, as TE's always seem to be hurt. |

I have no idea why we are talking about Charles' drops. I thought it was about fumbling.

So he's a great player, right? Or do you just want to stop by a thread like this to bitch about something that is easily correctable? |

Kelce is ok and all, decent player... but where is the stud tight end we so desperately need?
We should prolly go tight end #1 in this draft... |

Chris Webber and Amare Stoudemire were never the same after it. It and Achilles ruptures are the two scariest common lower body injuries an athlete can suffer |

Like many of us speculated, the team was keeping Kelce on a snap count due to the micro-fracture surgery. Better safe than sorry. If he matches his production from last year and adds a few more TDs, that'll be a successful individual season from him. I expect him to hit 70+ catches and 1k yards though, he's the best TE that Reid has ever had to work with in his offense, you can bet that he's drawing up more plays specifically for Kelce right now.
