“The thing that I love most about him — You look at the regular season numbers, and he’s better in the postseason than he is the regular season,” Sharpe saidto Travis and Jason Kelce. “What we call him is a big game. The bigger the moment, the bigger he plays. Who the hell you think Patrick’s gonna throw the ball to? He’ll throw it to him. They know that, 80,000 people know that, Patrick Mahomes knows that, he knows they’re throwing the ball, and the defense knows he’s gonna get the ball.

“And somehow he still finds a way to come down with the football. When it’s all said and done, I don’t know how you make an argument that says Trav isn’t the greatest tight end.”

Travis took those words with modesty.“I can tell you one: I got knocked the f–k out against Tennessee and I did not show up that second half,” Kelce laughed. “No, I don’t remember that, that’s the thing. I was concussed, Unc.”
