George Kittle put together one of the best statistical seasons in NFL history, but it didn’t garner him a first-team All-Pro nod.
Still, Kittle was named a second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press on Friday after breaking the season record for tight ends with 1,377 receiving yards. The second-year pro was a rare bright spot in an otherwise down season for the 4-12 49ers.
Chiefs star Travis Kelce, who finished second behind Kittle with 1,336 yards - his third straight 1,000-yard campaign - was named to the first team. Kelce and Kittle broke Rob Gronkowski’s 2011 season record, 1,327 yards, in Week 17.
