Travis Kelce and Marquette King - a Tight End and a Punter - Now Have a Rivalry
Marquette King tied his season-high with 8 punts on Thursday against the Chiefs. One of those punts was run back for a touchdown by Tyreek Hill. After the touchdown, Travis Kelce taunted King by doing one of his dances.
Before we go any further, think about the fact that a tight end and a punter engaged in a feud. Even if it doesn’t go past a tweet and they end up on the same team and become best friends, there was a war of words between a punter and a tight end. This is the strangest, most unlikely feud in NFL history. Has to be.
After the game, Kelce said that King told him he had no rhythm. King then took to Twitter to make a joke about Kelce’s reality television program.
“He told me I didn’t have any rhythm.”

“... Trust me, wait until I get in the end zone, i’ll show you some rhythm.” https://t.co/sfMIc89HDC

A punter and a tight end. No – a dancing punter and a tight end with a reality dating show. When debating football eras, let this be the singular event that describes the NFL in 2016.
