(Video) The beginning of the Upcoming Season is a bit Harsh for Travis Kelce as he had a Fight with Teammates During Training
The veterans of the Kansas City Chiefs have only recently begun their preseason training camp. Additionally, they began practicing on Friday while wearing protective gear, which resulted in some tense on-field exchanges. In one such incident, the standout tight end for the Chiefs, Travis Kelce, got into a physical altercation with a few defenders.
Fight: #Chiefs TE Travis Kelce threw a punch at Jack Cochrane which started a very short scuffle between the two.
Kelce probably felt he was hit late.

After catching a ball from quarterback Blaine Gabbert, Kelce attempted to go a few yards before being encircled by the defense. It appeared that Kelce didn’t enjoy the defensive backs continuing to play after the whistle during the heated exchange.
Before being separated by defensive back Bryan Cook and running back La’Mical Perine, Kelce got into a physical altercation and punched Chiefs defensive back Dicaprio Bootle.
It's the first day of pads and yeah, things can always get a little chippy at camp. #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/sSsUD1OB47

Bootle playing hard in the training camp might not have pleased Kelce, a two-time Super Bowl champion. But Bootle, an undrafted free agent who joined the Chiefs in 2021, was intensely competing for a roster place.
These heated exchanges between teammates occur frequently throughout training camps and typically don’t cause a major concern. The real fun will start once teams begin holding combined training sessions, which will happen soon.
Travis Kelce is a GOAT

The Chiefs’ top tight end Travis Kelce has had a great NFL career thus far. He has been playing at the highest level for more than ten years in the league.
The Chiefs selected him in the third round in the 2013 NFL Draught. The injury forced Kelce to miss practically the entire 2013 campaign. In 2014, he was given the opportunity to start games, and he never looked back.

Kelce has earned four first-team All-Pro nods and has attended eight Pro Bowls in his 10-year career to date. Additionally, he has had seven straight seasons with at least 1000 receiving yards.
In the past four years, Kelce has contributed to the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes winning two Super Bowl rings. Some people already think that Kelce is the greatest tight end of all time due to his career accomplishments, while others would want to see the 33-year-old have a few more successful seasons.

However, Kelce would be concentrating on aiding his team to retain their championship in the forthcoming campaign. They aim to become the first team since 2005 to claim back-to-back Super Bowl victories.
