The 2025 NFL season is still months away from commencing, but the work is already starting for the players, as they look to be a hundred percent ready by the time Week 1 comes around.Travis Kelce, who has committed to play for another season instead of retiring after a Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last February, is also set to go down to work in Nashville soon, but not with theKansas City Chiefs.
Together with San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and other NFL players of the same position, Kelce will help run the 2025 edition of the annual Tight End University (or TEU).

Jan. 29, 2023: Patrick Mahomes raises the Lamar Hunt Trophy while Travis Kelce celebrates after the Kansas City Chiefs’ 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC championship game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Established in 2021 by Kelce and Kittle, TEU’s goal is to help tight ends in the league learn from each other. Despite the intense rivalry in the pros, this project by Kelce and Kittle proves that there’s still space for such altruism in the league.
