Shannon Sharp makes astonishing statement aboutTravis Kelce

No one can doubt about Shannon Sharpe’s greatness. He was picked during the last round of the 1990 NFL Draft by the Broncos and turned into one of the best tight end in history, winning three Super Bowls and earning a place in the Hall of Fame.

However, Sharpe knows his spot as one of thebest tight ends could be in danger. Travis Kelce has beenpart of the Kansas City Chiefs since 2013 and he has broken a lot of milestonesduring that time.

Speaking on the Kelce brothers‘ “New Heights” podcast, Sharpemade a bold statement about Travis’ career. The Hall of Famer thinks the Chiefs player is the best tight end ever due to the impact he has in key games.

“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.”
