What happened: Kansas City drafted the Cincinnati product in the third round back in 2013, and he has sustained elite volume for over a decade. Last season, he produced 76 receptions for 851 yards and five touchdowns across 17 appearances.

Why it matters: Defenses still commit coverage mistakes trying to account for his route running in space. Even amid debate over whether others have eclipsed him, Travis Kelce creates mismatches that opposing coordinators cannot reliably solve. His consistency in moving the chains remains unmatched across the league.
