Over the last few years, Tight End University has been held to teach attendees the ins and outs of playing the tight end position at a high level.
Those who have taken part have been able to learn the tricks of the trade from NFL stars such as Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, retired Pro Bowler Greg Olsen and the San Francisco 49ers' George Kittle.
This will be the fifth straight year that Tight End University has taken place, and it will start on June 23 in Nashville, Tenn. Of course, Kittle will be taking part, as his attendance has been confirmed.
"What’s TEU without @gkittle," the caption read.
In his eight NFL seasons, Kittle has long been one of the NFL's premier tight ends. With Kelce showing signs of slippage over the last year or two, a strong argument could be made that Kittle is now the best at his position in all of football.
He caught 78 passes for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024. As the 49ers were hit with an unbelievable string of key injuries, Kittle remained a consistent security blanket for the team and for quarterback Brock Purdy.
He was named to the Pro Bowl for the fourth straight time and sixth time overall, and he also earned a spot on the All-Pro second team.
Kittle may be 31 years of age, but he appears to have plenty of game left in his tank. He recently agreed to a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension, which will not only keep him under contract through 2029 but also make him the NFL's highest-paid tight end.
