Kansas City Chiefs fans are holding their breath as questions loom over the depth in the tight end room behind Travis Kelce. Can backups like Noah Gray and Jared Wiley maintain the high standard, or does Kelce’s looming 14th season mean the offense is heading for trouble? Aaron Ladd, JC Pearson, Darren Smith, and Chris Clark debate whether Kansas City is prepared to weather injuries at such a critical position, while also scrutinizing the group’s run-blocking ability and possible scheme adjustments.
