George Kittle Reveals Why Tim Tebow Didn’t Get the Invite to Tight End University

Tight ends in the NFL are a brotherhood, and some of the best tight ends in the NFL are coming together this week in Nashville for their yearly summitt. Tim Tebow is now a tight end in the NFL (crazy, right?) But Timmy apparently didn’t get the Save the Date. Actually he’s not invited.

Tebow is trying to make the transition from quarterback to tight end with the Jaguars.

49ers tight end George Kittle joined the Pardon My Take podcast this week and explained why Tebow was excluded from the week-long event.

“So, nothing against Tim Tebow, but I found it hard to invite — I wish nothing but the best for Tim Tebow, and I hope he has a fantastic season playing tight end — but it’s hard for me not to invite a backup tight end on, let’s say the New York Giants, as opposed to inviting a guy who just started playing the tight end position because we do have limited spots,” Kittle said, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. “I wish I could make it so every NFL tight end can come, [so] it’s accessible to everybody. But what we tried to do this year, we wanted to pay for everything for all the tight ends that come to kind of make it a special event for all tight ends.”

Kittle added more than 50 tight ends confirmed for the event, booking up an entire hotel.

So no room at the inn for the former Heisman Trophy winner.

“If he’s on a roster this year, and he plays tight end, we would love to have him,” Olsen said. “We would love to work with him. Once he’s officially a tight end, we would love to work with him.

Let’s see if Timmy can make the trip next year. If he does, it means the experiment went well.

Something tells me he won’t be there, just a hunch.
