49ers' George Kittle Featured in Exciting News on Tuesday
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. Advertisement 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.
