Following the Kansas City Chiefs' mandatory minicamp, tight end Travis Kelce has been busy with his Tight End University. Sure enough, it has been an eventful past few days for him.

Not only did he impart his knowledge and experience to several other participating tight ends, but Kelce also turned a lot of heads with his arrival alongside his pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift.

Meanwhile, Tight End University was not just about work as the annual event also held a concert — called the Tight Ends & Friends concert — at the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville. Swift even had a surprise performance at the concert.

The NFL clearly loved the work that Kelce, George Kittle and Greg Olsen put into organizing the event and recognized TEU in a post on Wednesday.

"Work hard, play hard is the name of the game at TEU," the NFL wrote, along with several photos from the TEU program itself and the concert.

Travis Kelce, for his part, commented on the NFL's post and hyped up Tight End University even more, going as far as to call it the "best football event."

"TEU!! The best football event there is baby!!" Kelce wrote.

For what it's worth, several fans shared their excitement about TEU as well, with many even praising Kelce and company for holding it.

"Epic day," a commenter wrote. Another one said, "the fellas were killing it."

"Loveeee. KELCE AND KITTLE," a fan added.

A supporter remarked, "Epic event way to go."

"Such a great event!" a follower stated.

For those not familiar with TEU, it was founded in 2021 by Kelce, Kittle and Olsen. According to its website, it "was created to bring the Tight End community together for an immersive three-day program," where "attendees are able to bond, collaborate with and learn amongst their peers while participating in a variety of activities including film study, on-field drills, recovery, rehabilitation and more."
