Kelce's Basketball Dreams, Chiefs' Draft Plans

On April 4th, Travis Kelsey dropped a wild story on his podcast, revealing he almost ditched

football for basketball at West Virginia University.

Back in high school, after a big visit to Morgantown, he felt like family with the mountaineers

staff and nearly committed right there.

Coach Jared Calhoun, who was an assistant then, even called him a beast on the court.

But his dad shut that down quick, reminding Travis about honoring his word after already

committing to Cincinnati.

Jason Kelsey cracked up hearing it, since Travis was always the overlooked little bro.

Meanwhile, Kelsey's chief steel looks like three years on paper, but it's really a one

year $12 million packed with void years to rework later.

At 37, Kelsey's eyeing retirement soon, so GM Brett Veach might chase Atlanta's Kyle

pits to keep the tight and legacy going from toning.

Gonzales to Kelsey, pairing them could cut Kelsey's snaps, save his legs and boost production

like Andy Reed wants.

Cheese added corner Kair Elam on a cheap deal, earning a B grade for filling a hole and

sparking competition.

Draft wise, expect the slight defense lean, with needs at corner, end, tackle, and maybe

a tight end or receiver.

Xavier worthy speed got underused last year after a labrum tear, but healthier routes can

make him scary.
