It is relatively well known among the team’s fans that Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce began his football career as a quarterback at Cleveland Heights High School. He was a three-year letterman at the position, with a combined 2,539 yards from scrimmage as a senior.
Those numbers make plenty of sense when you go to the tape:
Kelce tallied 1,016 yards rushing, 1,523 passing yards and 31 total touchdowns. He went on to play college football at Cincinnati, where he was used as a quarterback in Wildcat formations during his redshirt freshman season before he was transitioned to a full-time tight end.
