Chiefs' Kelce after training camp scuffles: 'Gotta be a better leader'
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was involved in two tussles during Saturday's training camp practice, including one with him throwing a punch.
Kelce punched teammate Jack Cochrane after hauling in a touchdown in the first incident. He appeared to take issue with Cochrane making contact with him late after the catch.

Kelce's eventful day didn't end there, as the tight end also got into it with cornerback Dicaprio Bootle.

Kelce seemingly owned up to his actions later Saturday.
"Gotta be a better teammate," Kelce tweeted. "Gotta be a better leader ... plain and simple."
The eight-time Pro Bowler collected his second Super Bowl championship last season. Kelce pulled in a career-high 12 touchdown grabs in 2022 while adding 1,338 yards on 110 catches.
