"If I had a son, I'd want him to be just like him." ❤️ Mansoor Delane has nothing but love for Travis Kelce @insidethe Via @NFL on X

What happened: Delane made the remark about Kelce around Week 6 action. Delane entered the league as the No. 6 overall pick out of LSU in 2026.

Why it matters: Kelce entered the league in 2013 as a third-round pick out of Cincinnati. The exchange links a 2026 first-rounder with an established veteran.

What to watch: Both continue through the regular season.
