And what have you?

I put Travis Kelsey up there with anybody at the tight end spot.

This brothers legit.

He's an exceptional route runner.

He's an exceptional pass catcher.

Hey, put, he makes yardage after the catch.

We understand that Grant was special in that regard as well.

And I would remind everybody there was a couple of 1000 yard plus seasons that Travis Kelsey had long before Patrick Mahomes ever came along.

So it ain't like he's a product of Patrick Mahomes.

This brother is the real deal.

Travis Kelsey can ball, and I would tell you, in terms of greater in his prime or whatever, I put Travis Kelsey right up there with Grant because to me, this is Travis Kelsey's prime and look at what he's doing.

We saw what Gronk did.

He had 4000 plus yard receivers as a tight end in his career.

Travis Kelsey has five thus far again.

I look at Travis Kelsey right now, uh, you know, as being in his prime at the age of 31.

Um, I just view it that way, and I say, Hey, Travis Kelsey right now against Gronk and Gronk was in his prime.

I don't mind going with Chelsea doesn't bother me at all.

Well, Kelsey's great Kelsey's and also obviously all the time, But he's a future Hall of Famer for sure.

Yeah, Kelsey and George Kittle.

It's an argument when both those guys were healthy and in fact, because of Kittles blocking, I'll give him a very slight edge over Kelsey.

But that's one A and one b.

Either way, you want it.

When Gronk was in his prime because he's not his prime anymore, there wasn't no one be.

It was like I wonder if this guy is is good.

Is Gronk that Whoa, whoa!

It wasn't a one B because because George Kid on the Travis Kelsey weren't playing back then.

If they if they if Gronk was in his prime right now, we would be talking about the three.

I think if Gronk was talking basically the argument, if Gronk was in his prime right now, I think it would be Gronk one and these to be battling it out for two.

I'll say this Gronk's health is a factor.

You know, Kelsey may wind up with a better career numbers and all that stuff.

I'm not going to stay on the field.

I'm being fair.

I'm being fair to you there.

I'm not going by the numbers.

That's why I didn't really bring it up.

Because I understand drunk age injuries, attrition.

We all know that you want to go walk away from the game because he had been, you know, psychologically, it just got to him being injured all the time and playing with Bill Belichick in Foxboro.

And I keep telling people, Dammit, those hits hurt Mawr in Foxboro than they dio.

Whether that cold weather when you get hit, it hurt.

Okay, so I'll give you that.

Travis Kelsey is in Missouri.

You know I'm cold to get to Missouri.

Let me tell you something.

He's still doing what he's doing.

Travis Kelsey, Right now in his prime were Gronk in his prime with George Kittle in this prime.

I still think we're having this discussion about Travis, Kelsey and Gronk right there.

I'm telling you, the brothers special Gronk think about when he was not the same pass catcher anymore.

And the separation wasn't quite the same.

Although there's always kind of separation of doctors on the field.

He's so big.

Such run you over.

Yeah, Run you over.

Think about the way he blocked his last year, New England, When that when he knew he could give you value.

There it was.

He's like having a legit other, like elite linemen, the way he was blocking I He's just look, he it is.

These guys are all operating on a certain level.

Gronk is the biggest.

I thought he was the most high level performer I've ever seen at the position.
