Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s next catch will be a significant one for his place in NFL history.
Kelce has 1,094 receptions in his NFL career, tying him with Tim Brown on the all-time list. With his next catch, Kelce will move ahead of Brown and be No. 7 in NFL history for career catches.
In first place on the all-time catch list is Jerry Rice, whose record of 1,549 receptions may never be broken. Kelce won’t catch Rice even if he plays until he’s 40.
After Rice on the career catch list are Larry Fitzgerald (1,432 catches), Tony Gonzalez (1,325), Marvin Harrison (1,102), Cris Carter (1,101) and Jason Witten (1,228). Then comes Kelce, who is climbing up the ranks of the most productive pass catchers ever to play the game.
