Greg Olsen discusses Tight End University's growth in its 6th year

Olsen is a co-founder of Tight End University, which annually brings together NFL tight ends for film study, on-field drills, and networking, building camaraderie and improving performance.

"Yeah, it's been pretty remarkable. I don't think any of us, when George (Kittle), Travis (Kelce) and I came up with the idea of expanding the interest and exposure to some of the top tight ends in the game, and really bringing guys in from all across the league for a three-day little summit in Nashville." said Olsen, "I don't think any of us anticipated, back in 2021, that it would grow into what it has become. I think it's a testament to the position that the guys who play it become household names. They become the stars of the league."

All proceeds from the event are donated annually to charities selected by the founders. This year's event will be the 6th offseason as the number of attendees and sponsors continues to grow.

"It's the 'George Kittles' and the 'Travis Kelces' and the 'Rob Gronkowskis' of the world that have allowed that position to elevate to where it is today." said Olsen, "Getting 80 to 85 NFL tight ends together for a mix of some fun and parties and concerts and dinners and fellowship, but also some really good on field work and classroom work and film, and really being able to pass along a lot of the tricks of the trade from some of the top guys who've ever played the position has been a really unique event. It's been a signature event on our calendar every summer, and we'll be back there again in June this year, down in Nashville, and try to keep this thing rolling."
