San Francisco
In 2017 George Kittle signed a very modest contract with the 49ers. By 2018, Kittle was setting records at the TE position for the 49ers. Kittle has made four pro bowls in his career. The San Francisco 49ers have experienced a lot of success in the 6 years Kittle has been a part of the organization. Kittle has been a part of offensive squads on San Francisco that are loaded with weapons, but Kittle is quite possibly the leader of the 49er’s offense. He has quickly climbed up the all-time receiving charts for both SF and the NFL.
Pay Day
Kittle signed a massive contract with the 49ers in 2020. In 3 years, Kittle went from signing a humble contract, to becoming the highest paid tight end in the league. George Kittle has had a successful career in SF, but his team has yet to achieve the ultimate goal, a Super Bowl victory. The San Francisco 49ers are one of the most talented teams in the league and Kittle is one of the top weapons in football. A coveted Super Bowl win is definitely a possibility in the near future.
