The Chiefs QB mentioned that he didn’t take Tucker’s stuff being in the way as a big deal. For him, it might have been Tucker’s harmless way to get inside Patrick Mahomes’ head and he understood that. Mahomes told Tucker to move his stuff, so the kicker got up and moved it like “2 inches”.

This irritated Travis Kelce, so he decided to take things into his own hands and threw Tucker’s equipment away. Mahomes was “going to let it fly” but Kelce couldn’t. Despite all this, Mahomes mentioned that he has nothing but respect for Tucker and dubbed him as one of the best kickers in the league.
