George Kittle

What I admire most about George Kittle is the story behind the stats. A fifth-round pick out of Iowa is supposed to be a roster afterthought, yet he turned himself into one of the most disruptive tight ends of his era with the 49ers, earning seven Pro Bowls and two first-team All-Pro nods. To me he embodies the joy of the position: the bruising runs after the catch, the willingness to throw a block nobody asks for, the visible delight in the dirty work. Kittle reminds me that grit and personality can be as valuable as raw measurables, and that is exactly why I keep rooting for him.

George Krieger Kittle (born October 9, 1993) is an American professional football tight end for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Iowa Hawkeyes and was selected by the 49ers in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL draft. Kittle is a seven-time Pro Bowler and was a first-team All-Pro in 2019 and 2023.
