San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has impressed fans during the offseason with his training regimen. He is preparing to lead his team through his “Legendary Revenge Tour” this season, assuming there is a season, and he has his sights set on a trip back to the Super Bowl.
Below is a small sample of some of the videos that have made their way through social networks.
An NFL player who adjusts to a division rival, linebacker Bobby Wagner of the Seattle Seahawks, recently caught on and complimented Kittle calling him a “beast.”

San Francisco 49ers fans are growing weary of the lack of important news on the George Kittle front, specifically when it comes to his new contract. During a typical offseason, a new deal is likely to be made, and the All-Pro tight end will crash for the foreseeable future. This is not a typical low season, and these are not typical times. That has made things increasingly difficult and is likely to be the cause of the contract delay. It is unknown what next year’s salary cap will look like. Not so long ago, everyone was sure that the limit would increase significantly, thanks to a new Collective Bargaining Agreement and impending television deals. COVID-19 changed all that.

Poor George Kittle. He could have had a great NFL campaign in 2019. Wait a minute, Kittle made 85 passes for 1,053 yards with five touchdown receptions, earning All-Pro first team honors and his second Pro Bowl pick.
