- Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Makes Off-Field Decision Amid NFL Season
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has had an unbelievable career in the NFL thus far. Now in his 13th season in the league, Kelce has totaled 1,054 receptions for 12,782 yards and 81 touchdowns. This has led to 10 Pro Bowls, four first-team All-Pro selections and three Super Bowl titles with the Chiefs.
The Westlake, Ohio, native has been great again this year despite quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the rest of the Chiefs' struggles. Kelce has 50 receptions for 631 yards and four touchdowns. His receiving yardage is second among tight ends in the NFL this year.

Kelce has been widely regarded as one of the best tight ends in the league for years and has put himself into the conversation as one of the best to ever play the position. Along with his incredible play on the field, he has made a meaningful impact off the field.
In 2015, Kelce started his foundation, Eighty-Seven & Running. Its mission is to "empower disadvantaged youth to achieve success by providing resources and support to their communities and cultivating their talent in the areas of education, business, athletics, stem, and the arts," according to its website .

This week, as part of the NFL's "My Cause My Cleats" campaign, Kelce's cleats were revealed.
The "My Cause My Cleats" initiative was established by the NFL for players to wear specially designed cleats and to raise money for a charitable organization of their choosing. They do this by auctioning off the cleats, with 100% of the money raised going to the organization.
Kelce, unsurprisingly, will be raising money for his Eighty-Seven & Running foundation. He and the rest of the Chiefs will be wearing special cleats on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts at Arrowhead Stadium at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
