I think it’s very appealing to somebody that plays tight end.” said Briningstool at some stage in last year’s rookie minicamp, “I think just being able to come in here and learn from him, learn from the other guys that really play at a high level, and just be able to, come in here and use my skill set and, see how I can make an impact.”
For the duration of his last three seasons at Clemson, Briningstool caught 124 passes for 1,313 yards and 16 touchdowns. He expressed a desire to learn from Kelce, hoping to add another weapon with similar traits to the Chiefs in 2026.
