Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce received plenty of recognition from his peers by being voted as the fifth-best player in the league on the NFL 100 list.
But Kelce still has an issue with the list, namely, where his brother Jason ranks.
Jason Kelce, the veteran center on the Philadelphia Eagles, was No. 92 on the list and one of just three centers to crack the top 100, albeit the third best.

Travis felt his brother should have been much higher.
“I could really care less [sic] what guys think of me, but in terms of my brother, without a doubt I’m fired the f—k up,” he said on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “I can name 10, 20 players better than my brother in the league right now and they had him all the way at 90-something.”
Jason Kelce continued to play at a Pro Bowl-caliber level at 33 last season and has been a mainstay of the Eagles offensive line for the last 10 years and has not missed a game in six consecutive seasons.
The only centers to rank ahead of Kelce on the list was Ryan Kelly of the Colts at 69 and Corey Linsley of the Chargers at 60.
But, as Travis also pointed out, ranking players, especially from different positions, is a very subjective and arbitrary thing.
“I think there’s still a little, I don’t wanna say, shakiness, in how the heck you rank these guys?” Travis said. “Because it is such a team game. Whose to say this player is better than this player just based off of their position? But I definitely think it’s cool and appreciate all the respect I’ve gotten throughout the league.”
