Travis Kelce hugs Greg Olsen and George Kittle as Chiefs star returns to ‘Tight End University’ in Nashville after golfing with Wayne Gretzky
Travis Kelce received a warm welcome from Greg Olsen and George Kittle when he arrived in Nashville for “Tight End University.”
The trio founded the annual gathering and teaching camp, which is now in its fourth year.
In a video posted by the New Heights podcast account, the three-time Super Bowl champion received hugs from his co-founders. Olsen first shared a hug with Kelce and then hugged him even tighter after Kelce quickly grabbed his traps.
“So where are you from?” Olsen asked Kelce. ‘Where were you? Where in the world was Travis?’
Kittle, whose San Francisco 49ers lost to Kelce and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, entered the picture with a handshake and hug for his contemporary.

Gretzky’s daughter Paulina posted to Instagram to greet him and her husband, golfer Dustin Johnson, on Father’s Day, with Kelce appearing in two of the four photos.
“It’s such a cool opportunity and a unique opportunity because it feels like you’re in an all-star game, it feels like you’re in a Pro Bowl because you rarely come across so many guys in your profession one room of different teams,” Kelce said of TEU at New Heights last year.
“And it’s just so cool to hear everyone’s stories about what they’ve been through and how their coaches teach them certain routes or certain blocking schemes.”
“You can just bounce ideas off each other, and I think it’s helped my game a lot just hearing from guys.”
