How Josh Allen is imitating Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes — but not in the way you’d think

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce speaks to reporters about how feeling rested has helped but attributes the playoff energy to head coach Andy Reid. Kelce also speaks about how he used dream about being like Josh Allen when he played quarterback himself. By Dominick Williams The best postseason tight end in NFL history walked into the Chiefs media room Friday and reminisced about his high school days as a quarterback. Nostalgia, just a couple days shy of a championship weekend — but it wasn’t completely unprompted. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had been asked a question about Bills quarterback Josh Allen, and it first prompted a memory. “Josh,” Kelce said, “is who I used to dream about being like in the NFL.” Kelce fancied himself as a big, athletic dual-threat quarterback while at Cleveland Heights High School and into the early years at Cincinnati.
