Apparently, according to ESPN’s Mike Sando (h/t David Bonilla of 49ers Webzone), two-year pro George Kittle isn’t the best tight end in the NFL after New England Patriots superstar Rob Gronkowski retired late last month.
Speaking with numerous league executives and front-office personnel around the league, Sando reported Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was the best at this position, followed closely by the Philadelphia Eagles’ Zach Ertz.
“Kittle is good, but like many of the players who have been with Kyle Shanahan, he should feel blessed,” according to one general manager’s take, spoken to Sando.
