Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle have become two of the best tight ends in the NFL.
The two have met in the Super Bowl twice, with Kelce and the Chiefs walking away with both wins. But Kelce and Kittle put their differences aside for at least a few days for their annual Tight End University (TEU).
TEU, founded in 2021 by Travis Kelce, George Kittle and Greg Olsen, is an annual offseason program that brings together the NFL’s top tight ends for training and mentorship. Held each summer at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, this year’s event will run from Monday through Thursday.
On Monday, the NFL posted a new photo of Kelce at this year's event. He is joined by Kittle, Olsen, former New York Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey and the Las Vegas Raiders' Brock Bowers. Each star is wearing TEU gear as well.
"Past and present in the building for TEU," the NFL wrote on X.
While some NFL fans enjoyed the gathering of great tight ends, others noticed the appearance of Kelce and Kittle. They took to social media to leave their thoughts.
"The difference in kittle and kelces physique," one fan said.
"Kelce's arm compared to the Kittle and Bowers," added another.
"George has been in the weight room this summer," wrote a third.
"Damn Kittle is looking jacked! I can't wait to see some of his pancake blocks this year!" commented a fourth.
"Kittle jacked up for another 2 catches, 4 yards in the Super Bowl?" joked a fifth.
"love how the best TE ever is wearing black," wrote a sixth.

Among other notable attendees at the 2025 TEU are Jake Ferguson of the Dallas Cowboys, T.J. Hockenson of the Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Goedert of the Philadelphia Eagles. But numerous other positional players, such as Dak Prescott, have made an appearance at TEU in the past.
