After his breakout 2018 season, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is already looking like a superstar. As it turns out, his development could be getting an additional boost this offsseason from an NFL legend.
According to 49ers tight end coach John Embree, Kittle has been matched with future Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez for a few days of training this offseason. This all came to light during Embree’s recent guest appearance on Matt Maiocco’s 49ers Insider Podcast.
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.
