Travis Kelce is returning for at least one more season with the Kansas City Chiefs, but it’s no secret that the legendary tight end’s career is nearing its end. <\/p>\n
That means Kansas City must find a replacement for Kelce, and the Chiefs could do so in this year’s draft. Alber Breer<\/a> of Sports Illustrated pointed to Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq as a possible candidate. <\/p>\n “I’m not sure if they’d take him at 9, or want him in a trade-down scenario, but he’d fit as a Travis Kelce successor, and might have as good a shot as anyone in the draft to be the focal point of some team’s passing game,” Breer wrote. <\/p>\n Bleacher Report’s NFL Scouting Department<\/a> considers Sadiq to be the No. 17 overall player and the top tight end in this year’s draft class. In the latest mock draft<\/a> from B\/R, Sadiq is projected to go 17th overall to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. <\/p>\n In his final season with the Ducks, Sadiq recorded 51 receptions for 560 yards and eight touchdowns. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travis Kelce is returning for at least one more season with the Kansas City Chiefs, but it’s no…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":870828,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2063],"tags":[346,7,118,110,2438,2437,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-870827","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-kansas-city-chiefs","8":"tag-chiefs","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-kansas-city","11":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","12":"tag-kansascity","13":"tag-kansascitychiefs","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=870827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870827\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/870828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=870827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=870827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
