George Kittle, tight end for the San Francisco 49ers, seems to be taking time to breathe after working hard at the training minicamps. Kittle recently shared a picture of himself golfing in Panama with teammates Kyle Juzszczyk and Ricky Pearsall. T.J. Hockenson, tight end for the Minnesota Vikings, can also be seen smiling at the camera in the picture shared by Kittle on his Instagram.
Kittle and the rest of the 49ers have been hard at work in the training camps for the team over the last few weeks. The 49ers are eager to do better in the upcoming season after putting on a lackluster show in the last football season.
“Panama with the boys”George Kittle captioned his Instagram post, showing off his golfing adventure with Juzsczyk, Pearsall and Hockenson in Panama.

George Kittle will be eager to prove more than his worth for the San Francisco 49ers, especially after the team shelled out a whopping contract to make him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL today. The 49ers have been pretty busy during their offseason to retain their important players, including Kittle and even their starting quarterback Brock Purdy.

The 49ers as a unit will be desperate to top off their record from the previous football season. It seems like George Kittle is trying his best to get some breathing space before his next season with the San Francisco 49ers kicks off.
George Kittle Defends Starting QB Brock Purdy
George Kittle recently stopped by ‘The Rich Eisen Show’ and had much to discuss, including the performance of his starting quarterback, Brock Purdy. Purdy recently signed a major contract extension deal with the San Francisco 49ers, making him one of the costliest quarterbacks with the team. However, the news raised many eyebrows, with many calling Purdy unworthy of all this money.
“I would say, I don’t know what his winning percentage is, but when you win a lot of games and then in two years you go to the NFC Championship or better, I think that’s decent. One of my favorite things about Purdy is that everyone calls him the checkdown merchant, and then the last two years he’s had the least amount of checkdowns in the NFL as a starting quarterback.”George Kittle said about Brock Purdy.

Purdy was selected by the 49ers as the very last pick in the draft and was immediately named ‘Mr. Irrelevant’. However, he soon proved his spot in the team and quickly rose up to be the starting quarterback of San Francisco.
