Chiefs receiver Nikko Remigio has provided a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at what makes Travis Kelce so special.
The 35-year-old set an NFL record as the Chiefs moved within one victory of another Super Bowl with the victory over the Texans on Saturday.
The tight end had 100 yards in a playoff game for the ninth time, surpassing Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.
After the match, Remigio revealed that he had seen something a few days earlier that underlined how committed Kelce was.
The receiver, just 25 years old, was watching film of practice earlier in the day. But he didn't even finish the first piece of the session when he had to pause it and show it to his wife.
“Look,” he said, through the kansas city star. 'See how hard Travis runs? It's supposed to be jogging practice. Are you telling me this guy doesn't want to win?

The receiver talked about how Kelce “set the pace” in practice before the Chiefs beat Houston.
Remigio had to stop watching film of the Chiefs practice to show the clip to his wife.
In the clip, Kelce was just running downfield with the ball for 20 yards. But according to Remigio, 'hThis week we set the pace for practice: we'll go out and run.'
Kelce has once again had to face questions about his performances and his future. The tight end, who turned 35 in October, has been linked to retirement.
But it continues to deliver results for Andy Reid's team. Kelce broke new ground in his 23rd postseason game, scoring a touchdown and gaining 117 yards at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, with the winner securing their spot in next month's Super Bowl in New Orleans.
