Former NFL star Rob Gronkowski highlighted concerns over the recent performance of Kansas City Chiefs' tight end, Travis Kelce. Kelce, a star player and nine-time Pro Bowler, has only managed to secure eight catches for 69 yards in the first three games of the NFL season. This lackluster performance has led to questions regarding Kelce's dedication and preparation for the sport.

Legendary New York City radio host Mike Francesa voiced his opinions on Kelce's recent struggles during his podcast. Francesa questioned Kelce's commitment to football, pointing out his various off-the-field commitments and changes in lifestyle. He raised concerns about Kelce's focus on endorsements and appearances in comparison to his on-field performance, especially highlighting a crucial play where the ball was stripped out of Kelce's hands by a safety from the Atlanta Falcons.

Francesa drew attention to the coaching philosophy of Bill Parcells, emphasizing the importance of dedication and focus on football over celebrity status. The radio host suggested that Kelce's performance decline might be attributed to a shift in priorities and lifestyle changes. Francesa's remarks have sparked discussions among sports analysts, trying to understand why Kelce has not been as involved in the Chiefs' offense as he has been in previous seasons.

In response to the criticisms, Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes defended Kelce, attributing the decreased production to opposing teams focusing their defense on the talented tight end. Despite the challenges Kelce is facing on the field, Mahomes expressed his confidence in Kelce's abilities and highlighted the importance of team success over individual statistics. As the Chiefs continue their season, all eyes will be on Travis Kelce as he looks to regain his form and make a significant impact on the field.
