Look at the year Xavier Worthy could be having

Plus, that may well have been Kelce’s best season. He was insane that year.

Kelce’s decline hurts, because he’s still getting a similar number of targets to years past. Problem is that each of those targets results in less production than before.

Hope he sticks it out for another year, but his workload needs to decrease.

Kelce has definitely lost a step, but the elephant in the room to me is that it looks like he hasn’t taken great care of his body either.

Being 35 has nothing to do with the gut that all of a sudden appeared this season. I get that he has other priorities in his life now, but I can’t help but wonder if his decline could’ve been tempered if he had hit the offseason a little harder.

My wife and I said the same thing.

He does look heavy and less defined this year.

I've thought all season that Travis looked fatter than ever.

Fat isn't a friend of speed, I don't think he's lost a step due to being 35, I think he looks slow because he's fat.

Also back to Pat's deep ball - it's literally painful to watch him miss week after week, while Josh Allen is making every single one of these throws. And I hate Allen, but every week he puts these on the money.

He would lose a little bit just being 35. Not taking care of himself is going to make it worse.

He also has had the ball knocked out of his hands on contested catches in way we aren't used to seeing. A more muscled Travis might have hung on to those.
