The Chiefs will have the same identity and same hunger for 2020 that they brought into their Super Bowl championship season.

That’s the sense from Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce. He covered several topics this week, including enjoying the Super Bowl afterglow, dealing with Covid-19 and the inspiration for his stage performance at the Union Station portion of the Super Bowl parade. Remember, Kelce fights ... for your right ... to parrrrrttttaaayyyy. He even gave reporters on a midweek Zoom call a tour of his expansive shoe closet.

After a break on this episode of The Star’s daily SportsBeat KC podcast, we spend a few minutes with new Chiefs defensive end Taco Charlton. The former first-round pick is on his third team in four years, and the one-time Michigan teammate of Frank Clark hopes this will be his most productive stop.
