Tight End U Nashville Recap with Jet's Jake & Intern Brandon
At 1:20:20 · chapter starts 1:08:15
The intern segment is the most energetic of the episode's non-Kittle sections. Jake and Brandon open by describing the overall vibe of Tight End U as a golden retriever beach day — every tight end running on pure joy and ball. Day one brought them to a Reese's gifting suite ('more Reese's than I've ever seen in my life'), and day two put them on the field with actual NFL tight ends, where they attempted the reaction drill and generated some less-than-flattering comments online.

George Kittle is 'at a 12 at all times.' The surprise personality of the event is Mac Jones, who Jake names Dude of the Week for throwing to tight ends all day with infectious energy that confirms the famous Alabama cigar photo mythology. The open practice drew a crowd of 92-percenters and Chiefs fans, including a woman who got Travis to sign his rookie card. The episode's most suspenseful moment: Jake almost missing Taylor Swift's surprise appearance because he needed the bathroom, then sprinting back heels-first as the roar of the crowd told him what was happening. Brandon teased a major upcoming guest for the season finale. The segment closes with an Eagles Autism Challenge shout-out — approximately $1.25 million raised this year.

Mac Jones Was the MVP of Tight End U
Jets Jake named Mac Jones his Dude of the Week at Tight End U. Jones was throwing to every tight end with infectious energy, having the time of his life. The Alabama cigar photo finally makes complete sense.
