The respect is as real as the rivalry. As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to host the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce took a moment to shower Bills quarterback Josh Allen with love during a media session.

Kelce, known for his confidence and charisma, didn’t hold back when discussing Allen. "Josh is who I used to dream about being like in the NFL," Kelce admitted with a smile. "Big, athletic quarterback, big arm, being able to be a dual-threat guy. I never had the arm talent that Josh had, so they kicked me over to tight end."

Kelce didn’t stop there. He went on to highlight Allen’s leadership, noting how the entire Bills offense revolves around their superstar quarterback. "He’s a great leader, and everything runs through him. I’ve got so much respect for that guy," Kelce said.

Coming from one of the NFL’s most dominant players, these words carry weight. Kelce’s acknowledgment of Allen’s talent and leadership shows the mutual admiration between two of the league’s best teams.
