When the Eagles hired head coach Doug Pederson, there was a big push to shore up the tight end position for years to come. Looking at the roster in Kansas City, where Pederson was the offensive coordinator for the past three seasons, there is no confusion as to why. Tight ends have been key to the Chiefs’ success, especially Travis Kelce.
In 2015, Kelce had a career year, hauling in 72 receptions for 875 yards and five touchdowns. When all was said and done, Kelce was named to the Pro Bowl and finished sixth among tight ends in the league in receiving yards.
