Travis Kelce has proved once again that he’s one of the best TEs out there! In a much-anticipated move, the Kansas City Chiefs’ superstar has taken over legendary wide receiver Jerry Rice. As the Chiefs’ are going strong against the Baltimore Ravens, it seems Kelce has another record to add to his playbook. The 34-year-old has surpassed Rice’s playoff record for receiving catches with 152 catches.

Rice hung up his cleats with an exceptional postseason record of 2,245 yards and 22 TDs with 151 catches to his name. And even though the Chief’s TE is not close to his other stats, he for sure has more catches than Rice now. It might be not so surprising that the TE is also the closest players to Rice’s postseason stats. So if someone can get ahead of the legendary WR in yards and TDs, it will be Kelce himself. However, the TE won’t be beating those this year, as he only has 1,619 yards and 16 TDs in postseason so far.

"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." These words by Toni Morrison sum up why I got into writing after being an avid reader for most of my childhood. After juggling with words for years, it still comes as a surprise how much there is to write and read. Despite being a software engineer, the will to keep on writing got me involved with poetry and later content creation. The additional desire for storytelling and my history of athletics paved the way for EssentiallySports. With the dream to return to my athletic roots and absorb as much knowledge as I can, I am grateful to keep on learning new things every day about various sports. Despite being more of an off-court reader, the thrill that game coverage instilled within me got me more involved with the NFL. Even though the stories revolving around the NFL are very intriguing, the hype and energy of the games is the literal cherry on top for me. When I am not immersed in NFL gameplays and off-court stories, I am usually lost in writing poems, cooking, and playing with colors.
