Travis Kelce knows how to ball! The Kansas City Chiefs athlete, 34, was named the best tight end and the ninth-best player in the league through the NFL 100 List, an annual ranking done by professional football players who vote on the best players among their peers.
“The best tight end in the National Football League,” the Chiefs’ official Instagram account captioned a photo of Kelce, who joined the team in 2013, on Saturday, Aug. 3, celebrating the achievement, which was released a day prior.
“Kelce reached new heights of popularity in 2023, but that kind of recognition among his peers has been a constant in the Top 100,” the NFL’s blurb about the athlete began, subtly referencing his relationship with girlfriend Taylor Swift, which they went public with during the 2023-2024 football season.
This year marks the fourth consecutive time that the New Heights co-host has been named the best tight end in the league, per the NFL’s write-up.

The write-up also noted that Kelce is quickly approaching record post-season receiving records with his Super Bowl performances, which resulted in three championships for him.
