There are only a couple dozen or so players in NFL history who have more receiving yards than Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
One of them was at Chiefs training camp at Missouri Western on Thursday: former 49ers/Cowboys/Eagles star receiver Terrell Owens.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Owens, who is third in NFL history in both receiving yards (15,934) and receiving touchdowns (153), was in the area. So Reid invited Owens, who is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, to camp.
“It’s great to have him,” Reid said. “I’ve watched him grow up. He’s a dad now. His son (Terique) is with the 49ers, doing a nice job. He’s got a daughter (Kylee) that’s a heck of a volleyball player. And just watching people grow, I think is a great position that I’m able to see that, and he’s got a good heart.”
