What your favorite 49ers players have been up to this offseason
The offseason is in full swing and your San Francisco 49ers have been enjoying their time away from the field.
In just a few days, we’ll find out the San Francisco 49ers schedule for 2023. Until then, there’s still some time to sit back, relax and enjoy the spring before the grind of the season begins.
The Niners have been quite busy this spring from basketball games, to the WWE, to typical offseason training.
Let’s get into there whereabouts and what exciting things they’ve been up to.
George Kittle
Tight end George Kittle has certainly made his way around the Bay Area and onto national TV numerous times. It’s safe to say when the 49ers use the hashtag #BayAreaUnite, Kittle is most likely there.
In game two of the NBA playoffs between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors, Kittle along with 49ers teammates Sam Darnold and Christian McCaffery watched courtside.
In a funny moment, Darnold decided to give CMC a technical foul:

The trio wasn't the only stars in the house, as legendary quarterback Joe Montana took in the game. While global movie star and 49ers fan Zendaya, with her boyfriend Tom Holland (who is Spider-Man) also watched the Warriors victory.
Kittle’s a superstar in his own right. But it’s always great to see him become a kid again, especially when it comes to the WWE. In April he and his wife Claire attened WrestleMania at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Of course, Kittle had to get in on the action and teamed up with former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee.
The dynamic duo took out WWE Superstar The Miz to claim victory:
Deebo Samuel
Though he’s not super keen on showing much of his personal life on social media, 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel shared these adorable photos of his little boy.
Samuel also had an opportunity to hangout with comedian Kevin Hart. The two participated in Hart’s show “Cold as Balls.” The two of them sat in an ice bath and chatted about a number of topics including if Samuel has thought about playing for another team:
You can bet the NFL’s most entertaining wideback will be ready to go for the 2023 season as he’s also shared a lot of training videos on his Instagram.
Brock Purdy
From Mr. Irrelevant to wondering “what’s Mr. Relevant doing this offseason?”, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy now has all eyes on him as he recovers from surgery.
It was recently reported by Niners general manager John Lynch on KNBR, the 2022 third stringer turned starter ”should resume throwing 12 weeks post-elbow surgery.” If the timeline is on track, June is when we could see Purdy throwing again. Of course, there’s still optimism that he’s the starter to begin the season. However, San Francisco has Darnold and potentially Trey Lance if Purdy isn’t ready by Week 1.
While he recovers from surgery, Purdy was a guest on “New Heights.” It’s a podcast hosted by Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and his brother Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. In his episode, the Kelce brothers asked Purdy about his draft-day experience, his thought process going into his first game against the Miami Dolphins and of course, reminisce about the NFC Championship:
Christian McCaffrey
Beyoncé once said “If you like it than you should’ve put a ring on it.” Christian McCaffrey took it to heart and proposed to his now fiancé Olivia Culpo. The two shared the happy news on Instagram with a stunning background and a gorgeous ring. Hopefully along with the engagement and wedding rings, McCaffrey adds another this winter.
Culpo is a superstar of her own. She’s won multiple Miss USA beauty pageants including Miss Rhode Island, Miss USA and Miss Universe all in 2012. Her most recent television appearance came on “The Masked Singer” where she was undercover as the “UFO.”
As previously mentioned, CMC was also spotted at the Warriors game. It’s not the first time he visited the Chase Centre since he was traded to San Francisco and it certainly won’t be his last.
Brandon Aiyuk
He may be on the highlight reels practically every Sunday night, but when it comes to his personal life on social media, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is pretty private. BA recently joined Instagram and you can follow him here.
However, we still got a glimpse into what Aiyuk is up to from his girlfriend Rochelle. She’s on TikTok and Instagram showing us the ins and outs of what it’s like being an NFL girlfriend/wife.
They recently attended rapper Future’s concert and celebrcelebrated their sixth anniversary together back in April. Rochelle recently shared a goofy video of BA running with their baby boy with the caption reading “He’s BEEN ready.”
Organized Team Activities are starting to begin around the NFL, which means we are just a few months away from another season of 49ers football.
But make sure you take time to relax and enjoy the spring and summer, just like your favorite San Francisco 49ers are!
