(610 Sports) – If you've watched the Kansas City Chiefs play football over the last nine years, you've probably become accustomed to head coach Andy Reid and his staff dialing up some interesting plays on the offensive side of the ball. Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce, often times a beneficiary of those play calls, appreciates that creativity, not only for the pressure it puts on opposing defenses.

"I think last week coach Reid did a great job, well really it was the entire offensive staff that's come up with the game plan, it gave me an opportunity to not just be in one spot but be in multiple spots on the field," Kelce said. "The motions help me to get off the ball a little easier, it doesn't allow a guy to just sit on top of me and, you know, flat out having an answer for when I do get pressed. You know, being violent and just trying to work my techniques and my fundamentals."

"I thanked him not too long ago, giving me that option and always putting the defense in a reactionary position, not letting them kinda dictate what's going on or take away a certain angle of a certain route and just giving me an opportunity to work my craft."
