George Kittle just keeps getting better. He's 31, which means he should be on the downside of his career, but he's not. He's arguably having the best season of his career. He has 43 catches for 560 yards and 7 touchdowns.
He's 31, which means he should be on the downside of his career, but he's not. He's arguably having the best season of his career. He has 43 catches for 560 yards and 7 touchdowns. He leads the team in all those statistics. And that's because he has become the best red-zone weapon on the 49ers.
KITTLE: "Yeah. Usually during the special teams period, some guys don't do stuff which is totally fine, but my tight ends coach says, 'Hey, let's try to get something out of these 10 minutes.' Whether that's contested catches, over the shoulder for deep passes, back-shoulder passes, toe-touches on the sideline which somehow I've gotten a couple of those this year. Things that could happen in every single game.
