Dan Orlovsky Saying Travis Kelce Is the Best Non-QB in the NFL Is the Most Ludicrous Take of the Season

I get that the Kansas City Chiefs are awesome. Even with the 11-0 Steelers, I think everyone pretty much agrees the Chiefs are the best team in football and seem to be in great position win a second consecutive Super Bowl. But Dan Orlovsky got a little carried away Thursday when he said Travis Kelce is the best non-quarterback in the NFL.

Now please don't get me wrong, Kelce is a fantastic player. He's certainly in the top 10 of the best non-quarterbacks in the NFL and likely in the top five. But my friends Aaron Donald, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara and some others would like a word as it relates to the best. Hell, Kelce might not even beat out Tyreek Hill as the best non-quarterback on the Chiefs.

But it seems pretty indisputable to me that Donald takes this title by a country mile. For as much better as Kelce makes Kansas City's offense, Donald wrecks offensive game plans every single week. And then if you were insistent upon an offensive player, McCaffrey and Kamara are the two most dynamic players we've seen in a decade. They do it all.

And I'm sure everything Orlovsky is saying about Kelce influencing the defense and allowing the Chiefs to do all sorts of things is true, but he just simply isn't the best player in the NFL outside of the quarterback position. Aaron Donald eats offenses for breakfast, chews them up, spits them out and does it again on the next snap.
