George Kittle: An Impressive Tight End with a WWE Mindset

Rookie tight end George Kittle recently walked through the San Francisco 49ers tunnel and envisioned what Levi’s® Stadium will be like on gameday.

“It’s wild that we’re going to get to play right here,” he told fellow rookie Trent Taylor.

The adrenaline rush of running onto the field in front of 68,000 screaming fans is something Kittle has imagined before, at least to some degree. As a huge fan of WWE, Kittle envisioned his epic wrestling entrance set to a rock song by Rise Against. Taking the field in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers will give the rookie tight end his Stone Cold-esque experience – fog machines, pyro and all.
