The fifth annual get-together, Tight End University (TEU), is underway on the Vanderbilt University campus on Nashville’s West End. Former retired Pro Bowler Greg Olsen, current San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle, and Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowler Travis Kelce started the tradition of bringing the league’s tight ends together.

Kelce and his fellow group leaders addressed the fellow tight ends in a fiery speech to encourage enjoyment during the session.

“Don’t be afraid to shake some hands, meet everybody,” said Kelce, “This event is so unique because you get to see everybody outside the face mask, man. So don’t be afraid to ask questions, meet everybody, and let’s have some fun tonight, baby!”

Kelce, who was once considered a potential retired player before the start of the offseason, is passing down his knowledge to the many invited players. He demonstrated his coaching ability during an on-field session, as captured on video by the camp’s social media team.

Kelce posted 823 yards with three touchdowns on 97 receptions in 2024.
