Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott was spotted at Tight Ends University on Monday.
“It’s such a cool opportunity and a unique opportunity because it feels like you’re at an all-star game, it feels like you’re at a Pro Bowl because it’s very seldom you get to get this many guys in your profession in one room from different teams,” Kelce said on his New Heights podcast in 2023.

“And it’s just so cool to hear everybody’s stories about what they’ve been through kind of how their coaches teach them certain routes or certain blocking schemes.
“You get to just bounce ideas off of each other, and I think it’s helped my game out a lot just hearing from guys.”
After TEU, Kelce will prepare for when the Chiefs begin their mandatory training camp on July 23.
