Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, co-founded Tight End University with fellow tight ends George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers and Greg Olsen, who retired from the Seattle Seahawks and the NFL in 2021. The three-day camp brings together tight end football players "to bond, collaborate with, and learn amongst their peers," according to the organization's website.
