Travis Kelce is one of the best players at his position ever to touch a football Kelce has earned multipro bowls and multi all proo team honors and has won multiple Super Bowls this guy is legendary yet somehow he fell all the way down to the third round but how how

Did arguably the greatest tight end of all time fall that far what happened to the players that went before him in this video we’ll be going over all 62 players taken before Travis Kelsey in the 2013 draft and how their careers have panned out starting with the first overall pick

By ironically the Kansas City Chiefs Eric fiser the first overall pick was oddly between two offensive tackles fiser and Luke Joko who would go second overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars the top of the 2013 class from a skill position and quarterback standpoint was relatively weak resulting in offensive

Tackles going with the top two picks fiser was was a starting tackle for the Chiefs for nearly a decade making two pro bowls including the 2020 season where Kansas City won the Super Bowl after that season fiser would leave the Chiefs to play one season as an Indianapolis Colt before ultimately

Retiring at the age of 30 on the other hand jokel did not live up to the hype of being taken number two he started every game he played for Jacksonville but injuries and average play pushed him out of the league after just five seasons two very different stories from

The top two picks with the third overall pick the Miami Dolphins traded up to choose Oregon outside linebacker Dion Jordan a bust you’ll see many more bust in this draft Jordan would start all five games in his NFL career even missing the entire 2015 season due to a

Violation of the league substance abuse policy Jordan would only record 13 and a half sacks in his six seasons as a pro ultimately being out of the league by 20 20 after bouncing around for a while the fourth pick offensive tackle Lane Johnson taken by the Philadelphia Eagles

Johnson has had one of the greatest careers of all time for a right tackle making four allp pro teams and winning a championship in his career Johnson is Philly royalty and was a very valuable pick at four picks five and six were both defensive ends with Ezekiel Ana

Heading to the Detroit Lions and barius Mingo to the Cleveland Browns he yet another pair with of two drastically different careers Ana was a pro bowl level Edge rusher for Detroit even having a season with 14 and a half sacks while Mingo never had a season with more

Than five sacks as he would bounce around the league until his retirement pick seven was offensive guard Jonathan Cooper by the Arizona Cardinals Cooper was a bust an on andof starter who played only five seasons in his career with the eighth overall pick the St Louis Rams selected offensive weapon

Tavon Austin from West Virginia Austin was one of the most exciting college football athletes of all time but he didn’t translate that into NFL success his Speed and Agility made him an exciting prospect but for whatever reason we didn’t get to see him make NFL Defenders look silly do you think he was

Drafted by the wrong team or was he to blame for the lack of success tell us in the comments the next two picks would be bust Alabama cornerback D Milner to the New York Jets and Alabama offensive guard champ warmac to the Tennessee Titans Milner would only play 21 career

Games before ultimately being out of the NFL due to injuries and warmac would be a so so starter as a Titan before winning a Super Bowl with the Eagles as a backup pick 11 was Alabama lineman DJ Fluker to the San Diego Chargers Fluker had a decent career as a starting guard

At Pick 12 the Reggie McKenzie LED Oakland Raiders shockingly selected quarterback DJ Hayden no one expected Hayden to be taken that high in the draft typical Raiders pick he played Four Seasons in Oakland a season in Detroit and four seasons in Jacksonville not bad for a major reach to last nine

Seasons in the league football aside Hayden passed away in a tragic car accident in 2023 the next two picks would be a couple of very good defensive tackles Sheldon Richardson to the New York Jets and star latale to the Carolina Panthers Richardson would be a one-time pro bowler even winning the 2013 Defensive

Rookie of the Year award and latu Al would be a solid contributing starter for Carolina and eventually the Buffalo Bills two very very good picks considering who was taken before them pick 15 was Kenny vicaro to the Saints vakaro would have a very solid career in New Orleans and eventually as a

Tennessee Titan good pick pick 16 the first quarterback taken EJ Manuel was selected by the Buffalo Bills Manuel would only start 18 games in his career and would only throw 10 touchdowns this quarterback class was very very very weak and it starts with manual pick 17 linebacker Jarvis Jones to the Steelers

A bust according to Pittsburgh fans the next five picks would all be Pro Bowl level players safety Eric Reed to the San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Justin Pew to the New York Giants offensive lineman Kyle long to the Chicago Bears tight endend Tyler eord to the Cincinnati Bengals and quarterback

Desmond truant to the Atlanta Falcons these five players all had very very solid careers with the exception of maybe eord the next two picks would be bust defensive lineman defensive tackle Sheree Floyd to the Minnesota Vikings and German board defensive end Bjorn Verner to the Indianapolis Colts yes his

Name is Bjorn verer pick 25 also belonged to the Minnesota Vikings and selected cornerback Xavier rhods it took a while but rhs would become an absolute lock down Corner even making first team All Pro in 2017 roads closed was his moniker and the name fit perfectly nobody got by

Roads in single coverage when he was in his prime with the 26th pick the Green Bay Packers selected D tackle Dayton Jones a bust pick 27 the Texans selected Clemson wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins what a pick Hopkins is one of the best receivers of the last decade if not the

Best and it started here a five-time allp proo team member an automatic 1,000 yards per season a touchdown machine the best hands a receiver can have this guy has it all Hopkins falling to 27 blows our minds with the 28th pick the Broncos selected Sylvester Williams an average

Defensive tackle who to his credit did help the Broncos win Super Bowl 50 with the 29th pick the Vikings selected curell Patterson Patterson has made a mindboggling six all pro teams not as a rusher not as a receiver but as a return man patteron has cemented himself as one

Of the top return specialists in NFL history and has been able to put up numbers for different franchises throughout his career the 30th pick was linebacker Alec ogre to the St Louis RS ogl tree was a very good linebacker in his career even making the all pro team

In 2016 for the Rams solid pick pick 31 the Dallas Cowboys took Travis Frederick Frederick was consistently one of the best centers in football in his time making three allp proo teams over his career fantastic value at 31 32 33 and 34 would be a few bust safety Matt Elam

To the Ravens safety Jonathan cyprien to the ja ues and wide receiver Justin Hunter to the Titans however picks 35 and 36 were a couple of goodies Zack hers to the Philadelphia Eagles and Darius slle to the Detroit Lions a player who would ultimately become an

Eagle two very very good players pick 37 was Giovani Bernard to the Cincinnati Bengals very solid running back for them pick 38 was linebacker Manti Tao to the Chargers a very good player in college who was the victim of a major catfishing Scandal during his tenure at Notre Dame

There’s even a Netflix documentary on it as for his NFL career he was a contributing starter for the Chargers and the Saints in his time with the 39th pick the Jets selected Gino Smith the Jets are a nightmare for quarterbacks just ask Mark Sanchez they failed Gino

And gave up on him but he changed the narrative of his career with P Carroll as a Seattle Seahawk becoming a top 19 quarterback in the league pick 40 was defensive end tank caradine to the 49ers tank would only start eight games as a pro pick 41 was wide receiver Robert

Woods to the bills Woods has had a very solid career in the NFL hitting his prime as a member of the Rams in the late 2010s the next two picks were stinky offensive tackle menelik Watson to the Raiders and cornerback Jonathan Banks to the Buccaneers the Panthers held pick 44

And they chose Kwan short a pro bowl defensive tackle it was a huge part of their 2015 NFC Championship season making an allp proo team that year the next two picks would be linebackers Kevin Minter to the Arizona Cardinals bust and Kiko Alonso to the Buffalo Bills the Defensive Rookie of the Year

Runner up who would have a very solid career pick 47 was another tight end but not Travis Kelce the Dallas Cowboys selected Gavin Escobar Escobar had three 333 career receiving yards he is not Travis Kelce Jerry what were you thinking pick 48 would be a great one the Steelers selected running back Lon

Bell bell was a multiple time allpro in Pittsburgh and is one of the greatest running backs of his generation unfortunately his career would take a massive dive after he held out due to a contract dispute which would lead to him signing with the New York Jets that was

The beginning of the end for the former Steel are great we’re going to start flying through some of these picks because there isn’t anyone super special in this range D tackle Jonathan henkins to the Giants at 49 linebacker Jonathan bosk to the Bears at 50 David Amerson to

The Washington Redskins at the time at 51 Jamie Collins to the New England Patriots at 52 it was actually very solid for the Pats margus hunt to the Cincinnati Bengals at 53 Jamar Taylor to the Miami Dolphins at 54 Vance McDonald to the San Francisco 49ers at 55 yet

Another tight end not named Travis Kelce Arthur Brown to the Baltimore Ravens at 56 DJ swearinger to the Houston Texans at 57 Monty ball to the Denver Broncos at 58 Aaron Dobson to the New England Patriots at 59 Robert Alford to the Atlanta Falcons at 60 that wasn’t a

Super talented group of guys with the exception of Collins but pick 61 would be a ginor his talent as the Green Bay Packers would select Eddie Lacy Lacy would have a special rookie season winning offensive Rookie of the Year and being named to an allp pro team however

After his second season he would completely fall off he gained a ton of weight and he was ultimately out of the league After Five Seasons what could have been pick 62 would be another running back Christine Michael to the Seahawks and here we are pick 63 Travis

Kelce the Kansas City swifties got their man how would you redraft the first two rounds of the 2013 draft does Travis Kelce go first overall let us know in the comments
