NFL Celebrates ‘National Tight Ends Day’. Know about video featuring Travis Kelce, George Kittle, others

The National Football League (NFL) celebrates National Tight Ends Day on Sunday, October 22. It was started in 2019 when
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was caught in a mic’d-up segment making a joke about tight ends having their own holiday. This year, 49ers teammates Christian McCaffrey, Ross Dwelley, Charlie Woerner and Kyle Juszczyk joined hands for a hilarious National Tight Ends Day music video featuring them hanging out in a convertible.

Travis Kelce appears in video

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce appeared in the video for a few seconds, strutting confidently through the tunnel and busting out one of his signature celebration dances. Kelce is one of the most notable tight ends in the league right now after he won two Super Bowls with the Chiefs.

NFL launches ‘National Tight Ends Day’ in 2019

‘National Tight Ends Day’ began with the 49ers edging the Detroit Lions in Week 2 of the 2018 NFL season with help from Garrett Celek and Kittle. In that game, Celek scored an 11-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and Kittle said a conversation between the two tight ends and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo sparked the idea of National Tight Ends Day.

After this, the NFL decided to take the 49ers’ idea forward and make it a league-wide festivity beginning in 2019.

Taylor Swift connection

Taylor Swift has helped Travis Kelce and his team Kansas City Chiefs. She appeared when the team traveled to MetLife Stadium to face the New York Jets. The American pop singer has attended three Kansas City Chiefs games in 2023.
