George Kittle is a rising superstar tight end in the NFL. The San Francisco 49ers offseason has Kittle at the center and he has proved to be a stalwart receiver for the team during tough times.
Playing tight end isn’t easy in the league since they have to act as a receiver and as a blocker sometimes to make plays. Kittle is a physical tight end and is known for running through defenses and leaving a path of destruction behind him.
On the recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show, George Kittle and the hosts were having fun and were talking about which tight end is the ‘best pass catcher-drinker’ to which he replied “Travis Kelce.” Kittle said, “He’s very talented in all regards. Big fan, I have learned a lot from him in multiple facets of my game on and off the field.”
Travis Kelce is considered to be one of the greatest tight ends of all time so it is obvious that George Kittle learned a few trade secrets from him over the years to be as successful as he is. Kelce currently ranks fourth in all-time receiving yards by a tight end and is dangerously close to becoming number one.

George Kittle makes a cameo in WrestleMania 39
George Kittle was selected in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL draft by the 49ers. In his six-year tenure in the league, Kittle has been nominated to the Pro Bowl four times and has 5254 career receiving yards with 31 touchdowns.
After making it to the NFC Championship in the last season, George Kittle is enjoying his offseason in a nontraditional way. The star tight end was seen on WrestleMania 39 helping out Pat McAfee in his encounter with The Miz.
“I might have triggered The Miz into hitting me, so I had an excuse to get in there, but he didn’t say anything to me,” Kittle said on Pat’s show. “I just said “Miz, get in there, give the people what they want,” and then he told me to shut up and don’t say that to me, and he shoves me.”
George Kittle and Pat McAfee emerged victorious which was like a dream come true for 13-year-old Kittle. The 49ers tight end said he has always loved WWE and is open to any opportunity that will allow him to step in the ring. Maybe we’ll get to see him in WWE once he finishes his football career!
