Anonymous NFL scout gives savage verdict on Travis Kelce's hopes of returning to his best in 2025

An anonymous NFL scout has delivered a brutal verdict on whether Travis Kelce will be able to get back to his best next season. 

While Kelce is a fan favorite among Kansas City Chiefs fans – and Swifties across the globe – stats from last year would suggest that the тιԍнт end is on the decline.

His 823 yards recorded is the lowest in his career, for a full season, and in the recent Super Bowl he managed four receptions for 39 yards as the Chiefs were humiliated.

Despite dropping retirement hints, Kelce confirmed that he would return for the 2025 season and, ahead of that, one scout has delivered a savage verdict on his form. 

In a report by ESPN, Kelce was ranked as the fifth-best тιԍнт end in the NFL, as they prepare to head into the new season. 

The scout claimed that Kelce has shown ‘signs of physical decline’ but did admit that ‘you still have to worry about him’ because he’s ‘such a smart player’.

However, they ended by claiming that Kelce ‘doesn’t get open like he used to’ and pointed to signs that the Chiefs star ‘played heavier last year’.

Trey McBride, Sam LaPorta, George Kittle and Brock Bowers were all listed ahead of the Chiefs star in the тιԍнт end rankings. 

The тιԍнт end teased the possibility of ending his career following the loss in the Super Bowl and admitted the grind of NFL life had driven him ‘crazy’ last season.

To the joy of Chiefs fans, it was later confirmed that the 35-year-old would return for a 13th season however he did reveal that he would consider the 2026 season later ‘down the road’. 

Kelce signed a two-year, $34.25million contract – with $17m guaranteed – back in April 2024.

There is still one year left on that deal in Kansas City, where Kelce has played his entire career since being selected in the third round of the 2013 draft.

The 35-year-old is already a three-time Super Bowl champion but the Chiefs failed in their bid for a historic three-peat.

Kelce has, however, been enjoying his offseason alongside girlfriend Taylor Swift and recently attended an event together for the first time as a couple.

At the тιԍнт End University event, Swift and Kelce were clearly locked in on each other, including sharing some PDA in front of cameras.
