San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle is hopeful that his teammate will get the lucrative extension he's seeking soon.
Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Kittle had high praise for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and said he hopes he gets "the money that he deserves."
"Aiyuk's just a phenomenal football player," Kittle said. "He does everything you want him to do as a wide receiver, including taking touchdowns from me once in a while, which I'm totally OK with. But he's just such a dynamic receiver and he's just such a very important part of our offense.
