2. Travis Kelce, Tight End

Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce is simply a nightmare for every defense he goes up against. He is an exceptional pass catcher and has amazing blocking skills in the running game. A native of Cleveland, Kelce said back in June at Jarvis Landry’s Celebrity Softball Game, “It’s going to be so much fun” when asked about opening day in Kansas City when he will face his hometown team.

Kelce has made quite the career for himself to this point. He has earned First-team All-Pro honors three times, Second-team All-Pro honors twice, and is a six-time Pro Bowler. Not to mention the countless records that Kelce has broken. One of which is most receiving yards in a season by a tight end.

Last season alone, Kelce finished with 105 receptions for 1,416 yards and 11 touchdowns. Against the Browns in the playoffs last season, he had eight receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown.

The Browns will certainly have their work cut out for them on Sunday. Watch out for players like Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and John Johnson (among others) to try to defend Kelce. There is no doubt that he will draw the attention of multiple Browns defenders throughout the game at Arrowhead Stadium as well.
