49ers Tight End

George Kittle

There is so little that needs to be said about who starts at tight end for the 49ers.

The 2019 first-team All-Pro, George Kittle‘s rise to superstardom has been constant and steady, and now there are just small things for the Niners’ top offensive weapon to focus on. Crisper routes, slightly more secure hands, and Kittle might just become the most unstoppable player in the NFL.

About the only thing San Francisco has to worry about here is which player(s) back up Kittle. Last year, it was the now-retired Jordan Reed. In 2021, it’ll probably wind up being Ross Dwelley again.
