SALT LAKE CITY – At the Tight End University three-day program earlier this year, former Ute and Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid handed out friendship bracelets to his peers.

TEU is an annual camp hosted by current and former NFL tight ends. Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen founded the program in 2021.

“I’m a rookie here at Tight End U,” Kincaid said. “Trying to make some friends so I’m passing out some friendship bracelets.”

Taylor Swift clearly has a big influence in the NFL because Kelce and Olsen also handed out bracelets.

This isn’t the first time that Kincaid has shown that he may be a Swiftie. In a video from April 2022, a group of Utes said that they wouldn’t give Kincaid the aux cord.

“(Dalton Kincaid) always plays Taylor Swift,” Utah defensive lineman Junior Tafuna said.
