NFL history would have been different if Kelce never made the switch. In his senior year of high school, Kelce had 1,523 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and eight interceptions while also rushing for 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns. He had scholarship offers from Michigan, Michigan State and West Virginia, but he decided to follow his brother, Jason, to Cincinnati because Kelly would allow him to play quarterback.
“Initially going into the tight end position, man it was a pretty big struggle,” Kelce said. “I’m not going to lie. I didn’t feel comfortable running routes. I didn’t feel comfortable blocking.
