Rod Brind'Amour played 20 seasons in the National Hockey League, nine of which were as a Philadelphia Flyer.  Brind'Amour would actually play longer with Carolina and arguably had more success there, but he had better individual statistics with Philly.

Watson played in the National Hockey League for ten seasons, all with the Philadelphia Flyers.

The overall Kansas City Chief resume of Larry Johnson is an inconsistent one.  A 2003 First Round Draft Pick from Penn State, Johnson was not someone who Head Coach Dick Vermeil particularly wanted and their relationship was off to a rocky start.  Johnson saw very little playing time and it took an injury to the incumbent Priest Holmes in Johnson’s second year for him to see any real action, but that would change in 2005.

For years, conventional wisdom dictated that any tight end in Kansas City would permanently play second fiddle to Tony Gonzalez. Selected in the third round out of Cincinnati in 2013, Travis Kelce didn't just challenge that narrative—he dismantled it entirely. Combining a receiver's route-running ingenuity with an improvisational flair, Kelce evolved from a fiery young prospect into the most prolific postseason target in NFL history and a global pop-culture phenomenon.

Kelce's career took a major turn after missing nearly all of his 2013 rookie season due to knee surgery. He made a strong comeback with two consecutive 800-yard seasons, culminating in a breakout year in 2016 when he recorded 1,125 receiving yards and earned his first First-Team All-Pro honor. This marked the start of a remarkable period of elite performance. Kelce's unique advantage was his almost telepathic rapport with Patrick Mahomes; he had an exceptional ability to interpret defensive zone coverages instantly, dropping his route stems to find open space as Mahomes exited the pocket on scrambled plays.

Between 2016 and 2022, Kelce made history as the first tight end to achieve seven straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons. His standout year was 2020, when he set the NFL tight end record with 1,416 yards and 11 touchdowns in 15 games. He continued his excellence in 2022 with a career-best 110 receptions, 1,338 yards, and 12 touchdowns, becoming the key player in an offense that won Super Bowl LVII.

Beyond his regular-season stats, Kelce built his ultimate legacy in January and February. Serving as Kansas City's postseason safety valve, he surpassed Jerry Rice for the most career playoff receptions in NFL history and captured three Super Bowl rings (LIV, LVII, LVIII). Whether hauling in clutch touchdown passes in comeback victories or engineering clock-killing drives, Kelce became the Chiefs' defining big-game weapon in their modern dynasty.

Off the field, Kelce’s cultural footprint exploded into unprecedented territory. Hosting Saturday Night Live in 2023 validated his charismatic star power, but his high-profile relationship with music icon Taylor Swift launched him into a tier of global fame rarely seen for an American football player. Yet through the intense media spotlight, Kelce remained intensely focused on his craft, continuing to serve as the emotional heart and vocal leader of Andy Reid’s squad.

Even as age and defensive double-teams began to alter his usage, Kelce’s impact remained vital through the 2024 and 2025 campaigns. Across a challenging 2025 season where the Chiefs navigated team-wide adjustments, he still pulled down 76 passes for 851 yards and five touchdowns, earning his 11th consecutive Pro Bowl nod and officially surpassing Tony Gonzalez as Kansas City's all-time leader in career receiving touchdowns.

Now entering the 2026 season as a senior statesman of the locker room, Kelce stands at the summit of tight end royalty. With his place in Canton long since sealed, every snap he takes only adds polish to a career that has redefined the tight end position for future generations.

Kelce enters this year having already accumulated 113 receptions, 13,157 receiving yards, and 85 receiving touchdowns, all franchise records for touchdowns and catches.
