Travis Kelce only has eight catches through three games this season — and he’s yet to top 100 total yards — but one of his star teammates, George Karlaftis, is adamant the future Hall of Famer has not lost a step.
The Kansas City pass rusher spoke with TMZ Sports this week about his team’s hot 3-0 start … and while he told us he’s much better equipped to talk about the defensive side of the ball — he knows for a fact Kelce ain’t washed.
Karlaftis said straight up the tight end “hasn’t skipped a beat” — and even though critics have suggested TK’s highly publicized offseason with Taylor Swift has caused his slow start … Kelce’s teammate’s seen no change in the 34-year-old’s preparation process.
“He’s a guy that loves football,” Karlaftis said. “He will work hard every day, no matter what.” “
Karlaftis appeared to point toward all the double and triple teams Kelce has seen this season as the biggest reasons for his decline in production.
“Teams have to respect him,” Karlaftis added. Karlaftis added, “Teams have to respect him.” “Certainly, I do. “

It seems Patrick Mhomeswould agree. After the game against Atlanta, on Sunday, the QB said reporters that teams were simply doing everything to take Travis out the game.
