Patrick Mahomes: Travis Kelce 'Means the World to Me'; TE Has Helped Make Me Who I Am

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes discussed his bond with tight end Travis Kelce following the team's 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football.

"He means the world to me, man," Mahomes told reporters. "Without getting emotional, he's a guy that has really made me who I am in my career and a true leader on the football field. Everybody says 'security blanket,' but someone that I can just go to at any moment and he's going to make a big play happen."

"Even for me, to come into the league and have a superstar player and see him work like that, it kind of showed me that I'm going to have to put that work ethic in if I want to get to that level," he added.
