Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce revealed his choice for the best player at this year’s “Tight End University” camp.
In 2021, Travis Kelce, San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle and former Carolina Panthers Pro Bowler Greg Olsen began hosting the TEU camp for fellow NFL tight ends. This year’s event was hosted at Vanderbilt University.
Per ESPN’s Stephen Holder, the Tight End University 2024 camp sessions included Kelce, Kittle, Sam LaPorta (Detroit Lions), Jake Ferguson (Dallas Cowboys) and Evan Engram (Jacksonville Jaguars). Former Indianapolis Colts star Dallas Clark helped out with this year’s drills.
When “Bussin With’ The Boys” asked Kelce who the best tight end was at this year’s camp, the three-time Super Bowl champion gave an interesting answer that will surprise you (WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS LANGUAGE THAT IS NSFW):
“(Sam) LaPorta had a (expletive) year, dude. LaPorta had a year last year…I’m seeing where he goes his second year. His first year, he killed it,”
Travis Kelce was asked who the BEST TE is at TEU
His Answer: Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta
“LaPorta had a f*cking year last year…”

The Lions hit the jackpot when they drafted LaPorta in the second round (34th overall) last year. LaPorta finished with 86 catches for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns, leading Detroit to their first division title in 30 years. His 86 receptions set a new single-season record for a rookie tight end.
Travis Kelce remains the golden standard among NFL tight ends, though the future Hall of Famer is about to enter his age-35 season. So with Kelce nearing the end of his prime years, it may not be long until LaPorta (or someone else) replaces the Chiefs superstar as the top TE in the game.
Travis Kelce & Chiefs Aim For Three-Peat
No team in NFL history has completed a three-peat, but the Chiefs are already two-thirds of the way there. The 1990 San Francisco 49ers and 1994 Dallas Cowboys were somewhat close, losing in the NFC title game after winning back-to-back championships.
If there’s one team that can achieve the historic first, it’s the Chiefs. They have the league’s best head coach in Andy Reid, the NFL best player in Patrick Mahomes and of course the No. 1 TE in the game.
REPORT: Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Is Bidding To Make Mother Donna Kelce’s “Dream Come True” With Incredibly Heartwarming Gesture

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is reportedly working extensively to make a “dream come true” for his mother, Donna Kelce.
Donna is the mother of retired Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason and current Chiefs star Travis Kelce. She was a popular story during Super Bowl 57, since her two sons had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of squaring off in the big game.
While Donna continues to support Travis and the Chiefs, Travis is reportedly trying to make his mother’s dream a reality.
According to a report from Steve Brenner of The U.S. Sun, Travis Kelce is looking to purchase a vineyard in northern Italy for Donna, who has the dream of starting up a winery business in the country:
“A well-placed source close to the Kelce family has told The U.S. Sun that wine-lover Donna would be “thrilled” to be the co-owner of a business in northern Italy.
We understand Travis and his advisors have been seeking out key players in the wine industry with the view of becoming involved themselves.
The three-time Super Bowl-winning tight-end, according to our insider, was “stunned” by the landscape, culture and beauty on offer in Italy during his recent trip to Lake Como with Taylor Swift.”
Brenner’s report indicated the advisors for Travis Kelce were given a price of $3.5 million to get his foot in the vineyard business. And thanks to Travis’ fame, which has largely grown during his relationship with Taylor Swift, several businesses are interested in working with the three-time Super Bowl champion.

Kelce and the Chiefs recently agreed to a two-year contract extension worth a whopping $34.25 million. Throw in his previous career earnings and cash through endorsements, and the financial resources are plentiful to help Donna experience a dream come true.
Travis Kelce & Chiefs Aim For A Fourth Super Bowl
The Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 to complete the first repeat since the 2003 and ’04 New England Patriots. Up next, the dynastic Chiefs will try to become the first team ever to win three straight Super Bowls.
Kansas City’s quest to history will begin on Sept. 5, when they welcome reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens to Arrowhead Stadium in the annual kickoff game. This will be a rematch of the 2023 AFC Championship Game that Kansas City won 17-10.
After that, the Chiefs will stay home to welcome another familiar rival in Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2.
