Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is preparing his team for a three-peat opportunity against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. On Wednesday, he appeared as a guest on the Pat McAfee Show and shared his admiration for tight end Travis Kelce.
“He’s a great player. He’s got guys around him that are a little bit healthier, so all of these defensive coordinators, their whole focus isn’t just on Trav (Travis Kelce) and stopping Trav, and so, it frees him up a little bit, he hasn’t changed anything from before,” said Reid. “He can still do all the same things. If he’s got a couple of guys on him, then you go a different direction and have to work another area.”

Kelce didn’t have a big AFC Championship game but still owns numerous postseason records.
“He’s still a really good football player,” said Reid. “He keeps himself in great shape, never wants to miss a rep in practice, hates coming out of the game, I mean, absolutely hates coming out of the game. I love that part of him.”
The ten-time Pro Bowler will be relied upon once again in the biggest game of the year as Kansas City aims to make history.
