George Kittle grew up a Bears fan: ‘Being a Bear would have been fantastic’

49ers star tight end George Kittle recently joined ESPN Chicago for a segment to talk a little bit about everything.

A fun fact that Kittle revealed was that he grew up a Chicago Bears fan. That makes sense, as Kittle attended high school at two separate schools in Iowa, one in Iowa City, and also attended the University of Iowa, which is also in Iowa City.

It’s important to mention the location, as Iowa City is three and a half hours from Chicago. Since there aren’t any professional teams in Iowa, most of the locals gravitate toward the teams nearby, namely, the ones in Chicago.
