11. Travis Kelce, Career playoff receptions

Travis Kelce might be the best weapon in the NFL. He’s talked about a ton, but he still might not be talked about enough. He is the number one target in the number one offense from the hands of the number one quarterback. Mahomes is not the player he is today without Kelce helping him along the way. That includes in the playoffs, where Kelce has been equal parts security blanket and monster play driver.

Right now, Jerry Rice holds the most playoff receptions (obviously) with 151. Kelce is only 14 behind him. The Chiefs basically have to play two playoff games this season for Kelce to have a chance at the record. Kelce had 14 receptions in ONE playoff game last season. He had six and seven receptions in the other two games.

This is one of the few on the list that seems like a pretty solid pick. Kelce just needs opportunity and health to break this.

A lot of Rice’s records seem unbreakable. Rice owned 38 records at the time of his retirement. It’s okay to lose a few, and Kelce is a great player to take this one specific record. He’s been great, and his career seems like it has a lot of life left. He could make this one unbreakable.
