Posted on: Sep 13, 2025 20:03 IST | Posted by: Hindustantimes
Travis Kelce, the renowned tight terminate for the Kansas City Chiefs, is solidifying his status as one of the best athletes in the legacy of the NFL. Kelce, now 35 years old, is approaching the final stretch of some career milestones that will put him into the company of icons before him.
The consistency of Travis Kelce and his relationship with quarterback Patrick Mahomes has kept him entrenched in the Kansas City Chiefs' main lineup. Now he is nearing some big franchise records in receptions, touchdowns, and Super Bowl performances, as reported by Arrowhead Addict.

According to Arrowhead Addict, Kelce currently has 1,006 career regular-season receptions, ranking 14th all-time. He is just 19 catches away from overtaking Isaac Bruce for 13th place and 26 shy of surpassing Steve Smith to move into 12th.
The bigger milestone lies slightly further ahead. With 65 more receptions, the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end can pass Reggie Wayne and break into the coveted top 10 for career receptions, a feat only a handful have achieved. Given that Kelce has never had fewer than 92 receptions in a season with Mahomes as a starter, he could realistically achieve this before the 2025 season concludes, the report added.
Touchdowns are another marker where Travis Kelce is making history. He has a total of 78 career regular-season reception touchdowns (37th all-time). One more and he will be tied with Harold Carmichael and Charley Taylor.
To get into the Top 30, he just needs five more touchdowns, which would put him on par with Antonio Brown, Calvin Johnson, and Brandon Marshall. With his ability to score and Mahomes' ability to pinpoint the ball, he could easily enter that elite territory.

As per another Sports Casting report, the most enticing milestone awaiting Travis Kelce is in the Super Bowl. With 31 career catches in the championship game, he is only three away from tying Jerry Rice’s record of 33. Four receptions would give Kelce the outright lead in Super Bowl receptions, placing him in the history books forever.
Kelce, the Sports Casting report stated, has been a consistent Super Bowl performer, recording no fewer than six receptions in each of his appearances. While Jerry Rice’s eight Super Bowl touchdowns and 589 receiving yards remain unmatched, Kelce is etching out his own legacy on football’s biggest stage.
A: Kelce currently has 1,006 career regular-season receptions.
