George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers tight end’s wife, Claire Kittle, recently posted a picture on her Instagram, showing off her husband hugging their two dogs on the couch. Kittle can be seen dressed in a Nashville Predators jersey, while sitting on a grey couch hugging both of his dear dogs.

George Kittle and Claire have been together since 2012 after meeting at the University of Iowa. While George Kittle played college football for the Iowa Hawkeyes, Claire was there on a basketball scholarship. The two have shared a close bond ever since and got married in 2019.

George Kittle has been playing for the San Francisco 49ers since 2017 after being selected by the tam as the 146th pick in the fifth round of the NFL draft. Before that, the tight end played for the Iowa Hawkeyes from 2012 to 2016. In the 2024 NFL season, Kittle managed a total of 78 receptions for the team for 1,106 yards, scoring eight touchdowns.

Kittle and the rest of the San Francisco 49ers will hope to do better in the 2025 NFL season. Last year, the 49ers finished at the bottom of the NFC West after winning six games and losing 11. The 49ers played their final game of the season against the Arizona Cardinals and ended up losing 47-24.

On another note, George Kittle’s San Francisco 49ers are certainly eager to boost their rankings in the upcoming season and will try to bring in the right people from the 2025 NFL draft. One of the prospects whom the San Francisco 49ers will be interested in is Shedeur Sanders, who last played for the Colorado Buffaloes.

Shedeur Sanders is definitely considered to be one of the top dogs in the upcoming draft, and multiple teams are eyeing him for their respective rosters. However, it looks like the San Francisco 49ers will have to drop the idea of picking Sanders for their team mainly because of budget issues.

Sanders will come with a hefty price and the 49ers will surely not be able to afford this. As it is, the team is struggling to agree to Brock Purdy’s new deals as they will need to make several sacrifices, finance-wise. Still, Brock Purdy has been great for the team so far and many analysts are pushing the 49ers to agree to his terms.
