2018 has, without a doubt, been George Kittle’s year. Coming into the season, Kittle was seen as a nice piece of the San Francisco 49ers’ offense and as 2018 winds down, he’s an elite tight end and a nasty weapon. He’s already been shattering records, but he’s closing in on one more 49ers team record: most receptions by a tight end in a season.
The record sits at 82 and with his seven catches against the Chicago Bears Sunday, Kittle is at 79. Four more receptions in the 49ers 2018 finale will give him one more record to his name.
