It sucks about Adam Thielen getting hurt as he still has a chance to get to 1000 yards receiving on the season. With 5 games left I hope he can come back
and be ready to shine on prime time. He needs a few more thousand yards seasons to add some more nice stats towards the end of a very good career!

Minnesota state is a division 2 school. While Eastern Washington is a division 1 FCS school in the big sky conference.

I looked up the career stats for all time for an nfl tightend. Yes Tony Gonzalez deserves to be number 1. For some reason I forgot he had such a long career. In my mind and being half asleep today(lol) I assumed Witten had the most yards with Gates 2nd or 3rd. Here are the official stats. Kelce has a chance to catch everyone except for Gonzalez. He could get to number one but he will have to continue playing at a high level and stay healthy. Gronkowski lost a year of playing with retirement. Kelce has about passed Gronkowski with 1 season less of playing. Kelce is flat out dominant!

Kelce will have to go some to match Kittle, see what happens.

We ever had it better at TE than Kelce, Kittle and GRONK?

We had a pretty good run a while back with Todd Heap, Shockey, Dallas Clark, Heath Miller, Olsen, Chris Cooley, along with Witten. All of these guys were among the cream of the crop during the mid 00’s through the 10’s...

I really don't like Jimmy G, but he's far better than the other guy on the bench.

Idk, I think Jimmy gets a bad rap. He got hurt last year, and it seems like everyone just sort of gave up on him..
He’s really only had one full season as a starter, in 2019, and he led the 9ers to the Super Bowl that year. This year he started off so so, but he’s picked it up the last few weeks.

I guess I shouldn't compare him to Montana and Young, huh?

Sorenson 75 yard PICK SIX!!!! Liked how he finished that off too!

Chrissy sounds genuinely happy for him saying "how rough of a season it had been"

I love George Kittle but to think he is in the same category as Travis Kelce is not true. He has only had two 1000 yards seasons so far. Hopefully he can get their this year
to make it 3 and he should in my honest opinion. I just can't see anyone ever that plays at such a high level as Kelce. He goes over a thousand yards year after year like
he is running a layup drill. He has built quite a chemistry with Mahomes and I don't see this tandem stopping anytime soon. I would love to see Kelce get into at the minimum the top 3 all time in receiving yards for any nfl tightend ever. He is more than capable of doing it! We will just have to wait and see. He will need to be an iron man like Jason Witten was and hope to stay healthy. The amazing thing to me is how fast he runs. I don't think he has lost any speed yet. Hard to believe but the guy can really run for a big guy.

Well if you compare Kittle to Kelce in their first four seasons Kittle does have a slight edge, and he is faster than the 4.61 Kelce with his 4.52. Now imagine Kittle in KC with Mahomes.

Can't go wrong with either one of them, both are great. Kittle 28 Kelce 32

Nice to see Niemann as the first to greet Sorensen! Could hear the Cuck Chrissy chuckle Midway through the return.
