Being the goofy and funny personality that he is, 49ers star George Kittle once again proved to be a jokester as he gave a playful remark to Kristin, wife of his teammate, running back Kyle Juszczyk. In an Instagram post, Kristin posted a photo dump recalling her memories of their recent couple trip with the Kittles.
Under the comments section, George gave his playful remark that teased Kristin.
“You’re really cool but I love your husband,” the star tight end wrote.
“Also wish that red number stuck around longer,” Juszczyk responded.
Since 2017, Kittle and Juszczyk have been central figures for the San Francisco 49ers’ offense, with their dynamic duo now spanning eight NFL seasons. Juszczyk signed with the 49ers as a free agent in March 2017, shortly before Kittle was selected in the fifth of that year’s draft.

The two quickly developed an on-field chemistry, and became key contributors to the team’s offense.
Juszczyk has been selected to the Pro Bowl for nine consecutive seasons, with eight of those while playing for the 49ers. Kittle, on the other hand, has earned six Pro Bowl nods in total. He has been selected for five seasons in a row since 2019.
George Kittle Gives His Honest Opinion on Brock Purdy Joining The 49ers
In a recent interview, George Kittle gave his honest take about teammate Brock Purdy, who recently signed a massive, five-year contract extension with the 49ers.
“We all still have something to prove every single day,” Kittle said onFanDuel TV’s Up & Adams Show. “So, for the people that like saying that, you know, ‘He’s got something to prove,’ good for them. I think Brock is just gonna continue to elevate his game and continue to play at a high level.”
“Playing QB for the San Francisco 49ers is one of the biggest spotlights in sports”

Kittle also added why people like Purdy are the type of people he had always wanted to surround himself with.
“I want to be around guys that strive to be better every single day,” he added. “I don’t like being around people who are content because complacency is not a good thing in a locker room. So, if our players are continually practicing their asses off, continually getting better every single day, and they have the desire to get better every day, I’m in a great room, I’m in a great building.”
George Kittle and the 49ers will start offseason training camp later this month, as they attempt to bounce back from a challenging season.
