The 49ers’ media members were all sitting in the media auditorium after San Francisco defeated Carolina, awaiting various players to give their post-game press conference. Tight end George Kittle walks into a thunderous roar from the fans waiting outside and has a giant smile on his face.
San Francisco’s former fifth-round pick is coming off one of his better games of the season, catching six passes for 86 yards and dominating multiple linebackers in the run-blocking game too.
But off the field, Kittle has developed into one of the faces of the 49ers’ franchise and one of the more likable players, thanks to his big personality and love for the game.
