Travis Kelce won’t be the only Kansas City Chiefs tight end in attendance at the second Tight End University summit in Nashville, Tennessee later this month.
Last year, Chiefs TE Noah Gray took some criticism from the fanbase after he didn’t attend the inaugural summit. The reality is that Gray was double-booked, hosting a youth football camp in his hometown during the same weekend that the summit took place.
This time around, Gray isn’t double-booked. He’ll be in attendance as the best tight ends in the league gather to learn and share tricks of the trade. The Tight End University Twitter account has slowly been revealing some of the players who have RSVP’d to the event.

Kelce is again hosting this year’s Tight End University alongside George Kittle and Greg Olsen. He spoke a bit about the event at Chiefs OTAs in late May.
“To be honest, man, I don’t even see it as mentorship for me,” Kelce said. “I’m like a little kid at Tight End U, man. It’s just so much fun being around guys that are all working for the same thing. We’re all trying to do the same thing. We’re all trying to get better at the same craft. It’s fun just passing around the knowledge that I have, but also absorbing everybody else’s stories, what they’ve been through in their journey’s. Hopefully we get some new faces to speak this year and it’s going to be a blast, I already know it is. It was last year, and I’m pretty sure everybody is pumped for it again this year.”
Asked specifically about whether Gray and Jody Fortson would be in attendance this year, Kelce deferred to the players saying that both were invited. We have confirmation on Gray, but now we await word on Fortson.
