Ex-Patriots defender Rob Ninkovich thinks that Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is “just a bigger receiver” that “doesn’t want to block”

The upcoming game between the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs offers plenty of intrigue.

The two Pro Bowlers are arguably the two best players in the NFL at their position – but there is little doubt about who is number one, at least when you ask Rob Ninkovich.

The former Patriots defender, who retired last offseason, recently joined XTRA 1360 in San Diego to talk about Gronkowski and Kelce.
