#7: George Kittle (TE, 49ers) | Top 100 NFL Players of 2020 

The looks on the Saint's sideline were priceless.

“Oh Hi der it’s national tight end day bud”

He is literally like an OT who can run routes and catch like a WR, and become a RB with the football in his hands. Those first highlights of his blocking were incredible. He is a wrestling fan and loves the physical game of blocking DE or LB, never whines if he is not getting targeted 8 times per game. I wouldn't want any other TE or offensive weapon over George Kittle in my team.

Nfl really got me out here refreshing the page smh

I love how determined George Kittle is. He says on the sideline in the Super Bow when they lost, “I will be back here, and I will win!” I have mad respect for him man.

One of my fav players in this league, man is an elite pass catcher and blocker, he could’ve honestly played in any decade and succeeded

George Kittle is the best on Mic'd Up and hes a generational talent. Must be great to be his teammate.

Even when he doesn’t get the ball he dominated everyone else

Kittle was robbed of the 99 club. Change my mind 🤷‍♂️

2019 season stats: Games: 14 Targets: 107 Receptions: 85 Reception yards: 1053 Yards per reception: 12.4 Yards per game: 75.2 Reception TDs: 5 Longest reception: 61 yards First downs: 53 Drops: 2 Drop percentage: 1.9% Target separation: 1.67 yards Completed air yards: 484 Yards after catch: 569 PFF rating: 95 Selected to pro bowl Selected to all pro 2019 post season stats Games: 3 Targets: 13 Receptions: 8 Reception yards: 71 Yards per game: 23.7 Yards per reception: 8.9 First downs: 4 Longest reception: 19 yards

Hands down one of the best TE’s in the league it’s either him or Kelce but i’m gonna have to give it to Kittle.

As a niners fan, my favorite part of the video was that last clip. "I will be back." That's what you want to hear. No whining or moaning. George loves to have fun. But he also wants to win

Hes plays like a 12 year old trapped in a beasts body. Such enthusiasm and passion and desire to get better. One hell of a player!

right before 3:22 he hurt his knee and had to come out a few plays. Comes back in with a noticeable limp and runs over Budda Baker... scores, and yells "I'M STILL HERE BUDDDAAA!". I love this guy bro! best TE in the league hands down!! go niners!! 💪💪💪

He gets more pancakes in a game than some entire O-Lines.

Best tightend in the league. Also the best character in the league💯💯

I love this guy and that says something since I'm a Seahawks fan....lol. I love his energy and his sense of humor. He'll make sure we know it's national TE day.

Kittle, bosa, Warner, Jimmy all on this list I'll take it

Saints fan here. Gotta respect this man. Best TE in the game. Straight bullied our defense😫

at this point it might be a little crazy but if yall said kittle should have been higher i would believe you, dude might be the best player in the nfl.

I remember watching that game against the Saints on tv. He really made those three guys look weak😬

GEORGE KITTLE!

How is it possible to block like a OT, catch like a WR, & run with the versatility of a RB? Gronk and Kelce don't have his versatility. The 49ers has this guy running JET SWEEPS like a WR... then the very next play zone blocks like a right/left offensive tackle... & following that play run a post pattern into the end zone. Crazy athlete.

I’m a KC fan and I agree with this ranking

Had him for fantasy last year. He's hands down my favorite player in the NFL now.

As a Cardinals fan he's definitely one of my favorite players in the league

Energy is so contagious‼🔥

When he retires he will be remembered as the greatest Te ever.. been saying this from his rookie year

This guy is a great hybrid TE he's a perfect balance of old gen and new gen TE.

Best TE in the league no comparison 💯

He's such a beast man! How could you not want that guy as a teammate. Infectious! Definitely our heart and soul on the team! Go 49ers!!! Quest for 6. Revenge season 2020 2021

#85 in our programs but #1 in our hearts. THE GOAT ladies and gentlemen! Congratulations on your success Mr. K and we thank you.

He declared "I will be back"

He plays the game how it's supposed to be played!!!! Love him go big George!!!!

This guy has such electric energy! Has to be one of my favorite players even though I’m not a Niners fan.

Love the way Kittle plays..I loved Ronnie Lott back in the day..both tough players that played to win

He's almost always the best player on the field even when he isn't touching the ball

Y’all remember when Mahomes said he will be back, watch kittle..

Love the dude. Gonna get ticket for Levis stadium next season

I can’t tell u how happy I am to have him on this team dude is great

2:02 the way Tyrann bounced up was just graceful

I remember watching that last play against the Saints and thinking how he will be in the hall of fame one day.

I’m a seahawks fan and I love this dude lmao favorite tight end in the nfl because he’s willing to do the dirty work. He likes blocking

As a Niner fan, the play vs. the Saints will stick out in my mind as one of the greatest plays ever. It outshines T.O. and VD's catch. If I didn't know any better, you could have told me it was a play out of the 80's and I'd believe you. We're talking LEGENDARY grit, determination, and strength. Just old school hard-nose football.

Coming from a Seahawks fan, he’s one of my favorite players and he will walk all over us for years to come

1:45 Mike Daniels always on here lmao

This guy is so much fun to watch. The most complete TE. Defines the word grit. That reception against the Saints is all that needs to be said. Elite.

I’ll put it this way: Kittle is better at RAC and Blocking, and Kelce is a better 50 50 ball guy and a route runner, that’s the best way I can compare them.

49ers got a great one can be like an extra lineman cuz his blocking is elite he out there blocking D-ends and put up 1000 plus yards receiving

I love the “Run it again!”

What i really like about Kittle is that during a play he is all focused etc. - but as soon as the play is over he can goof around - thats really refreshing - and yes, he will be back!

That last statement gave me goosebumps 😳

When he talks like a canadian man LOL 😂

“IT’S NATIONAL TIGHT END DAY!!” 😂🤣😂

Run It Again!!! Run It Again!!!! Lol 😂 GOTTA LOVE IT LOL 😂

Nice fun personality Great guy happy Niners have him

"I will be back here, I will be back here, I will be back.... with Avengers" - George Kittle

Kittle is Like Marshawn Lynch playing as tight end, he just breaks tackle after tackle

Kittles 2018 season was one of the best by a tight end ever

As an Iowa guy, and drafting him in the 15th round before he broke out in 2018, I love George Kittle!

He has one of the most best personalities I've ever seen in my life.

WHAT A RUN BYE GEORGE KITTLE! Best play of the year no cap 🧢

So proud of myself for seeing him play my team in 2017 and saying “he’s gonna be the next elite tight end” and actually being right. Feels good to finally have a hot take go right

I remember that game with the saints, obviously wish we would have won but that game was a war and kittle is an absolute monster

His first down celebration means "PREACH" in American Sign Language. He's telling everyone to preach him haha

2:00 Tyrann Mathieu's balance tho...

Favorite player for my team by far!

Yo from like 4:45-4:55 looking at the saints sideline is pure gold 🤣🤣

"RUN IT AGAIN, RUN IT AGAIN!" LOOOOL

The celebration he does is taken from a wrestler named Pentagon stands for cero miedo means zero fear

Fav player! Beast player and seems like a great guy.

Unquestionably the best TE in the game, and also my favorite player of all time

Saints fan here. He definitely gave me a Marshawn Lynch flashback on that catch and run. Once again, freakin Marcus Capt. Unclutch Williams was there to be posterized.

I felt like the niners didn't use him much in the passion game towards the end of the season. He is a matchup nightmare. Shanny drafted himself a cheat code 😂

Run It Again Run It Again‼️‼️ Straight Monster

Excelente!!!

Best tight end in the league, deserves a super bowl

Honestly should have been number 3💯 at least the players recognize him as the best TE in the league

Mad respect for this player

His passion is so pure😂

Who else is refreshing the page waiting for top 5

We'll be back there soon George Watch the revenge tour

I'm so happy to have Kittle on the roster for many years to come #GoNiners

How can you hate this guy 🤣🤣. Im a Cardinals fan and I still love watching this guy.

As a Chief fan, even a huge fan of Kelce, he is impossible to hate. I am not mad he is ranked better than Kelce. He is a funny guy.

The best tight end in the league! Perhaps I shall say in NFL history. Yeah I said it and I know he’s gonna be a NINER for a long long long time ❤️💛❤️💛

I am so proud you’re a 49er George.

My favorite play from Kittle this year was that play against the saints boy went beast mode on 4th down

Future greatest te to play the game.

He is my favorite player too!!

As a niner fan idk how anyone hates this man🤦‍♂️ he’s the best TE and isn’t cocky about it he also has so much love for the game I hope niners get a deal done soon because I want to see kittle football all day every day

As a Cardinals fan, I hate going up against him twice a year. As a Football fan, I love watching him play. He doesn't fear contact, he welcomes it. While others slide or go out of bounds, he looks for the closest defender and runs towards contact with no fear. Best TE in the NFL!!

Kittle and Lamar are the 2 most likable guys in the nfl

6 niners were on the top 100 wow

I miss the NFL 😭. Kittle is a beast

George Kittle is one of my favorite players in the league. Coming from a Seahawks fan

I'm a Saints fan and I hate that one play that George Kittle did to us when our secondary couldn't tackle him but he's almost impossible to hate

George kittle for president 2020 😂

Beast after the catch that's lit like bic niner gang

I like the NFL bc all of the super popular skilled athletes are fairly spread out across the teams
