Travis Kelce is ready to hit the field again, and no one’s more excited than Patrick Mahomes. The Kansas City Chiefs‘ star tight end, who had a relatively quiet 2024 season with just three touchdowns, is gearing up for his 13th NFL season-and his chemistry with Mahomes could light things up in 2025.
After seriously considering retirement during the offseason, Kelce chose to stay, and his decision is music to his quarterback’s ears. Mahomes shared his thoughts during a press conference, and his excitement was unmistakable.

“I expect Travis to be Travis,” Mahomes said confidently, standing proudly in his Chiefs gear. “Obviously, he’s going to bring it on the field. He’s coming in with a Super Bowl mindset after falling short last season. But more than anything, it’s the leadership he brings every day.”
Mahomes praised Kelce’s ability to lead by both example and voice, calling it a key piece of the team’s dynamic. And it’s no surprise-Kelce has led the team in receptions for the past three years, forming a deadly duo with Mahomes that’s fueled the Chiefs’ sustained success.
Mahomes bets big on Kelce’s leadership
Motivation is running high after a tough Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, where the Chiefs’ offense struggled in the first half. Kelce has already vowed to return in the best shape of his life, and Mahomes echoed the need to recapture their identity-especially through the air.
“I want us to start throwing deep again,” Mahomes said earlier this offseason, making it clear Kelce will be his go-to weapon in that strategy. With that painful loss still fresh, both players are locked in on revenge for 2025-and Mahomes’ determined look in red at the press conference said it all.
Fans are pumped-and rightfully so. The combination of Kelce’s experience and Mahomes’ leadership could be the perfect formula for a huge year. Kelce brings the charisma and skill, Mahomes brings the vision and fire-and together, they’re aiming not just to win, but to dominate. If things go according to plan, the next Super Bowl could be drenched in Kansas City red.
