George Kittle to train with Tony Gonzalez

After a breaking records in just his second season as a pro, George Kittle can only get better, and learning from the best isn’t a bad route to do so. And you can’t get someone much better to learn about the tight end position than former Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez—he might get elected to the Hall of Fame this weekend.

San Francisco 49ers tight end coach John Embree was the latest guest on Matt Maiocco’s 49ers Insider Podcast and said he set a few days up to where Kittle could train under Gonzalez—the way Embree wants:

“Me and him [Embree and Gonzalez] are going to go have dinner with George, because I want him to share some things with Kittle, that him and I have done together that helped him be successful and just some things from a mindset standpoint that he did that George needs to do to sustain success.
