Cochrane appeared to give Kelce a shove after making the touchdown catch over him, which led to Kelce throwing a punch at CochraneBoth players were separated following the incident, luckily avoiding any escalation of things. However, Kelce appears to realize that he was in the wrong in this situation.
Kelce took to social media shortly after Saturday’s practice, where he posted a vague tweet that seems to be about this incident saying that he “needs to be a better leader”.“Gotta be a better teammate gotta be a better leader… plain and simple,” tweeted KelceWe see fights break out all the time in training camp, but for a respected player like Kelce to be losing his cool like this certainly isn’t a good look.
This actually isn’t the first time this training camp that Kelce has been seen throwing punches at a teammate. Another similar video emerged from Friday’s practice that shows Kelce throwing multiple punches at second-year cornerback Dicaprio Bootle
