Travis Kelce as a hockey player: scouting report

Travis Kelce is a defenseman in this game, and the logic comes from the part of his football career that gets less attention than the catches. A tight end has to block defensive ends and linebackers on running plays, and that mix of strength and positioning is what a defenseman needs in front of his own net. Defense is the best mark on his card, with physical play right behind, so he is the player who ties up the big forward, takes away the passing lane and wins the battle along the boards.

He has won three Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs and is one of the most productive tight ends in NFL history, which says he knows how to perform in big games. His skating is strong for a defenseman, so he can join the rush and still get back, and his passing is solid enough to make a clean first pass out of the zone. His goaltending mark is also high, which means he reads shots and gets into lanes the way a goalie would. He played college football at the University of Cincinnati before the Chiefs drafted him in 2013, so he has been doing this at a high level for a long time.

Shooting is the weakest part of his card, so he will not be the one blasting from the point on the power play. Use him as a shutdown defenseman and pair him with a puck moving partner who has a big shot. Goalie is his next best spot, close behind his defense rating, and center is a reasonable third. His humor and personality made him a fan favorite well beyond football, and he hosted Saturday Night Live in 2023. Draft him as a top pair defenseman who handles the hard minutes against the other team's best players.
