Recent Travis Kelce Notes
Travis Kelce
strengths
Balanced athlete with better wheels than expected, accelerating quickly to top speed. Deceiving quickness after the catch with loose hips and a fluid and flexible frame. Smooth and patient in his routes to release and gain separation. Catches the ball with his hands and does a nice job working back to the ball. Strong hands at the point of attack as a blocker and plays with a mean streak to eliminate defenders. Aggressive and feisty blocker who loves to finish, showing good awareness in this area to pick up his assignment and block anyone around him. Led the Bearcats in receiving in 2012 and more than tripled his career production. Works hard in the weight room and plays with NFL intensity. NFL bloodlines as the younger brother of Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.
compares to
Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Detroit Lions - Kelce flashes the ability to be an impact blocker and receiver at the next level, but like the Detroit Lions' Brandon Pettigrew, he will likely need some time to adapt at the NFL.
weaknesses
Needs to stay under control in his movements and sometimes moves too fast for his own good. His focus can be hot/cold at times, running before securing the catch. Still new to the position after being recruited to Cincinnati as a quarterback and needs some technique work as a blocker. Has only one season as a starter. Missed all of the 2010 season due to a violation of team rules and his character needs to be investigated.
