The NFL season will be here before we know it, and the news cycle is already heating up. As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up for another run, star tight end Travis Kelce has been keeping busy during the offseason with travel and event appearances.
Meanwhile, his older brother Jason Kelce is enjoying retirement and keeping a close eye on the league he played in for more than a decade. The Kelce brothers co-host the popular podcast "New Heights," and during a recent episode, their friendly sibling banter took center stage.
On Friday’s episode, the topic turned to “Tight End U,” the fourth annual event held in Nashville, where Travis was in attendance. The event is widely viewed as a summit for top NFL tight ends to connect, train and share insights.
Travis proudly described it as “a summit for the best position in football,” referring to tight ends. Jason, never one to let a chance for teasing slip by, responded with a smirk, calling it “more like the most ambiguous position ever created.”
When Travis argued that tight ends “get to do everything,” Jason couldn’t help but poke fun, saying, “Fans of tight ends...nobody.” Travis didn’t retaliate, instead joking, “I’m not throwing shade at the center position. I like Creed,” referencing Creed Humphrey, the Chiefs’ standout center.
As the conversation continued, Jason shifted focus to what’s happening around the Tight End U event.
“We’ve got some fun stuff this year, not just for NFL tight ends but for everyone in the Nashville area.” Travis also noted the event isn't just for kids but for football fans of all ages.

Jason played in the NFL from 2011 to 2023. He was part of the Super Bowl LII champion Philadelphia Eagles. He made seven Pro Bowl appearances and was named to the All-Pro team six times. Jason played in 193 career games, starting all of them.
Travis will be 36 years old in October. After a playing career with the Cincinnati Bearcats, he was the 63rd overall pick in the NFL Draft. He has been with the Kansas City Chiefs since 2013.
Travis has three Super Bowl rings and has been selected to the Pro Bowl 10 times. He holds the NFL record for most career postseason receptions with 174.
The Kansas City Chiefs were knocked off in an effort to three-peat as Super Bowl Champions, by Jason's former team, the Philadelphia Eagles in February.
