George Kittle is the best tight end in football, and arguably the best receiver regardless of position. Full stop.
But while the 49ers tight end has become a household name during his three-year NFL career, it appears his exploits have not been enough to get him into a very select club: The "99 Club."
Details from Madden 21 slowly have been trickling out, and a potential leak by Twitter user "LeadingNFL" showed which players have been given a 99 overall rating in the latest iteration of the popular game. While Patrick Mahomes, Christian McCaffrey, Aaron Donald and Stephon Gilmore all got the nod, Kittle came up just short in his quest for video game greatness.
