George Kittle earns high praise from two of the best tight ends in NFL history

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Two of the greatest tight ends to ever play in the NFL are beyond excited — they’re amped, no, jacked — to watch the two best tight ends in the game today face off in Super Bowl LIV Sunday.

This showdown between Kansas City’s Travis Kelce and the best tight end in the NFL, the 49ers’ George Kittle, is not just the pinnacle of the position in the modern game — it’s also an informal celebration of the legacies of Tony Gonzalez and Rob Gronkowski, whose impact on the position and, in turn, the sport, is immeasurable.
