Sports Illustrated has officially announced its All-Quarter Century Team (2000–2025), and Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce has been named First-Team Tight End, cementing his place as one of the best NFL tight ends of the past 25 years

🔥 Impressive Achievements:
A four-time First-Team All-Pro, a rare and prestigious honor
Set the record with seven consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons, the most in NFL tight end history
Three Super Bowl titles with the Chiefs, helping build one of the NFL’s greatest dynasties

🥇 The Tight End Showdown:
In the voting, Kelce edged out Rob Gronkowski by a narrow margin to claim the top tight end spot. He represents the modern era of the position — combining elite skill, consistency, and durability.

🎙️ What SI Said:
Sports Illustrated praised Kelce as “not just nearly unstoppable — defenses don’t just try to stop him, they try to contain the entire impact he has on the game” — a testament to his influence beyond just individual stats.

What This Means for the Chiefs
Kelce’s inclusion on the All-Quarter Century Team confirms his lasting legacy. As the Chiefs prepare for the 2025 season — potentially Kelce’s final one — his leadership and on-field presence remain critical to the team’s success.

With his records, accolades, and influence, Kelce stands as not only a Chiefs icon but also a model tight end for the NFL as a whole.
