George Kittle should become a 1,000-yard receiver again as Trey Lance takes over as the 49ers’ quarterback.
SANTA CLARA — This is Trey Lance’s team. That’s what coach Kyle Shanahan clearly stated Tuesday, alluding to the almighty role of 49ers’ starting quarterback.Look, this is also Deebo Samuel’s team. And Trent Williams’. And Nick Bosa’s. Maybe Fred Warner’s, Jimmie Ward’s, Arik Armstead’s or the understated running backs’.
Tight ends are a young quarterback’s best friend. When you’re arguably the NFL’s best tight end, well, Kittle could be trending back to his original role as a “receiving tight end,” after recent years of jubuliantly pancacking defenders as an erstwhile “blocking tight end.” “Whether it’s an outlet or, ‘Hey, I’m just going to throw you the ball regardless, so I hope you’re open,’ that’s kind of the relationship I hope to build with Trey,” said Kittle, whose calf injury last season put him on Injured Reserve on the eve of Lance’s first career start.
