Travis Kelce of the KC Chiefs makes a daring prediction about Patrick Mahomes’ number of rings

In a recent appearance on FanDuelTV, Travis Kelce predicted how many championships superstar teammate Patrick Mahomes will end his career with.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVII win over the Philadelphia Eagles prompted many to question whether the Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce trio had cemented the franchise as a modern-day NFL dynasty. While the answer has varied depending on who’s asked, there’s one member of the organization that is very confident in his take.

Appearing on a recent episode of FanDuelTV’s Run it Back program, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce discussed a variety of topics alongside hosts Michelle Beadle, Chandler Parsons, Shame Charania and Eddie Gonzalez. One of them was Kansas City’s standing as either a budding or established dynasty with recent success being compared to that of the Golden State Warriors in the NBA. While Kelce acknowledged that the Chiefs still have some work to do before their ring total reaches four with this current core, he didn’t leave any room for interpretation on where he stood:

“I would say, yeah, Kansas City has been a dynasty for quite a while now. Obviously, I’m biased to that, but I think what Coach Reid has done since he’s been here in terms of winning, in terms of the playoff runs and all the division championships and the AFC title appearances — then obviously the Super Bowls — we’re 100% a dynasty. But when you put it up against what the Warriors have done, obviously we don’t have as many championships right now so we’ve got some work to do.”

Kelce is no stranger to being lumped in with the Warriors, as he and Mahomes are set to take on Golden State stars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in another edition of Capital One’s The Match later this month. Dubbed the “Splash Brothers” by NBA fans, the Curry-Thompson duo has experienced a ton of success together and the duo is responsible for bringing the franchise four championships since 2015.

As far as having four championship wins on a resume is concerned, there’s a very finite amount of quarterbacks in NFL history who can stake claim to that. Tom Brady’s seven rings are by far the most all-time, with Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw tying for second place with four rings of their own as well. Mahomes is currently in elite company with two championships before even turning 28 years old, but winning at the highest level is never guaranteed. Talented signal-callers such as Dan Marino and Aaron Rodgers are prime examples of that, but that isn’t stopping Kelce from making a bold prediction about the rest of Mahomes’s career. The veteran tight end said his quarterback will surpass the four-ring mark:

“I think at the end of the day, Patty Mahomes finds a way to overtake — what is it, they’ve got four championships? I think Pat Mahomes is definitely going to find a way to get more than four championships. Hopefully I’m still along for the ride by the time he gets there.”

If Mahomes does end up winning three additional championships the rest of the way (presumably within the next 10-15 years depending on how long he plays), Kelce’s prediction would see the two-time MVP finish his career with five rings. That’s an unlikely outcome simply based on how difficult it is to win the big game in the NFL, but Mahomes has already managed to get to the Super Bowl three times in five full seasons as a starting quarterback. His success thus far has been mostly unprecedented, so perhaps Kelce isn’t being outlandish with his crystal ball proclamation.
