The unofficial holiday originated in 2018 and celebrates players such as Brock Bowers, George Kittle, Dallas Goedert and Jake Ferguson, to name a few.

Kelce is considered one of the greatest tight ends of all time. The Ohio native finished the 2023-2024 football season with “93 receptions for 984 yards and five touchdowns,” according toNBC News.

Heading into Week 8 of the 2024-2025 season, Kelce had yet to score a touchdown. That changed, however, when he scored his first during the game against the Raiders in Las Vegas on Sunday, Oct. 27.
