Chiefs Travis Kelce on Jim Rome Show: Patrick Mahomes’ start eye-opening

Chiefs Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce has gone all-in on first-year starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes after three games. If any doubt remained, Kelce likely eliminated that with his praise for the young signal-caller during an interview with Jim Rome on The Jim Rome Show on Tuesday.

Kelce, who has 16 catches for 229 yards and two touchdowns this season, described Mahomes record-setting start as something that would’ve been hard to predict in spite of the confidence he had in Mahomes before the season began.

Mahomes set an NFL record for touchdowns in the first three games of a season (13) and knocked the previous record-holder, Peyton Manning (12), out of the record books.
