At Sunday’s training camp press conference, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray shared his appreciation for teammate Travis Kelce’s leadership.
“Yeah, every year he (Travis Kelce) just gets wiser and wiser. Every year, he’s continuing to pour into guys like me, the young guys – some of the rookies like Jake (Briningstool) and Tre (Watson), Bobby (Robert Tonyan) coming in. You know, Jared (Wiley), (Geor’Quarius) Spivey, everybody, everybody in that room. We’re (all) just taking it all in,” said Gray, “He just keeps giving (us) more and more information about what he’s seeing on the field. Watching him, and his practice habits, and the way he works always rubs off on us. So, when you (have) a leader like that, that continues to lead the room, (and) continues to lead the team, it rubs off on everybody else and it makes a huge difference.”

Gray had a productive season last year, earning him a contract extension to keep him in Kansas City over the next few seasons. He finished 2024 with 40 receptions for 437 yards and five touchdowns.
Kelce enters the 2025 season third all-time behind Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten in tight end yards. He is only 2,977 yards behind Gonzalez for the most for a tight end in NFL history.
