Both Kelce and Kittle have followed the lead of New England Patriots legend Rob Gronkowski in attempting to make the role sexy.
Kittle even helped form ‘Tight Ends Day’ – held on the fourth Sunday of every October since 2019, after he was caught on mic discussing the need for them to have their own holiday.

With plenty of throws his way from Patrick Mahomes, he now has the most catches ever in playoff history (156) and the second most receiving yards (1,810).

“The king of Tight End U,” Kelce said to media. “He’s the best tight end in the league, and deservingly so this year.
“He’s been playing lights out, playing the best football of his career and really catapulting that San Fran team through the playoffs.
