The tight end recently took a trip to Turks and Caicos with some of his teammates, including Mahomes. As the group ran routes in the sand, catching passes from Mahomes, Kelce awkwardly stepped in the uneven and ever-shifting sand. But the pain that would’ve been instantaneous a year ago never came. “Last year or two years ago, that thing would’ve just rolled out and I would’ve been sitting watching guys catch routes on the beach instead of actually getting out there and doing it myself,” Kelce said. And now, after an offseason of doing plenty of route-watching, he’ll have even more opportunities to run the routes himself.
