Few people are more qualified to talk about pass catchers than legendary former cornerback Deion Sanders. So when Coach Prime took to social media to hype up the Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, his short message carried a lot of weight.
Few people are more qualified to talk about pass catchers than legendary former cornerback Deion Sanders. So when Coach Prime took to social media to hype up the Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, his short message carried a lot of weight. The Chiefs stalwart has upped his game in the playoffs. In Kansas City’s first playoff game against the Miami Dolphins, Kelce put up a 7-71 statline. The next week, versus the Buffalo Bills, the tight end went for five receptions for 75 yards and two scores.
Of course, Sanders spent most of his career shutting down receivers as a lockdown cornerback predominantly for the Atlanta Falcons, 49ers, and Dallas Cowboys. If anyone is able to evaluate that side of the game, it is Sanders. Impressing him is just another accomplishment Kelce can brag about on his way to the Hall of Fame.
