Noah Gray is ‘different’ than what the Chiefs have had behind Travis Kelce

For the first time since 2015, the Kansas City Chiefs used a draft selection on the tight end position. They traded up 13 spots in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft to take Duke tight end Noah Gray with the 162nd overall pick.
Gray joins a Chiefs tight end room with legitimate NFL experience: Besides Travis Kelce’s eight seasons, Blake Bell has played six years and Nick Keizer appeared in all 19 games for the Chiefs in 2020. On reserve/future deals, Sean Culkin has played in 19 career games and Evan Baylis has played in 11.
