No. 6: George Kittle for Being, Well… George Kittle

Teams are certainly more fun when they have some personality, and the 49ers have arguably the best persona on the roster with George Kittle.

In 2018, when Kittle was en route to setting the single-season record for most receiving yards by a tight end, it wasn’t hard to watch his postgame press conferences and media appearances where he delivered more laughs than anything else.

Oh, and it helps he’s pretty good at football, too.

Of course it’s great Kittle is viewed as one of the top two or three tight ends in the league right now, and there’s no questioning that.

But what makes Kittle even more unique is how he carries himself. There’s a sense of wit, humor and personality, which can make even the saltiest fans crack a smile.

Whether he’s talking about his WWE fandom, delivering hilarious pressers or showcasing his talents on the field, fans sure can be thankful Kittle is a member of the red and gold and not some other squad.
