KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has had plenty to celebrate in recent days off the field.
The newly married Chiefs star tied the knot with music superstar Taylor Swift on July 3, just weeks before he’ll report to St. Joseph, Missouri, for the 14th season of his storied NFL career.
On the field, Kelce’s play in 2025 has rewarded him with some additional recognition, as NFL Films continues its ‘NFL Top 100′ recognition ahead of the 2026 season.
Monday, NFL Films announced that the three-time Super Bowl champion and all-time NFL playoff receptions record-holder was on the Top 100 list for the 11th season in a row. Kelce joined the list at No. 79, a drop-off from a No. 37 ranking a year prior and several seasons from being a perennial top 15 or top 20 player in the rankings.

Last season, Kelce spent his 13th season in the league recording 76 catches for 851 yards and 5 touchdowns. Despite being 36 years old, Kelce was the Chiefs leader in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in 2025.

“He has a little wiggle about him that he knows how to create separation,” Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox is seen saying in the video shared by NFL Films.
Kelce is the second player for the Chiefs to make the list so far, with center Creed Humphrey ranking 94th.
