Last week, in revealing players Nos. 31-40, No. 31 is someone the Cardinals will face in 2025 twice. Player No. 31 is San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle. He was No. 14 a year ago.

Kittle was a Pro Bowler last season for the sixth time in his eight-year career. In 15 games, he had 78 receptions for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns. Despite missing two games, the yardage total was his highest since logging 1,377 receiving yards in 2018.

We know about his pass-catching abilities. But players in his top-100 video, several players noted his blocking, calling it an underrated part of his game. He laughs when he blocks guys. He even considers himself a psychopath.

He is a regular opponent for the Cardinals. He has faced the Cardinals 14 times and has caught 56 passes for 785 yards and seven touchdowns.

The Cardinals will face Kittle in Week 3 on the road and again in Week 11 at home.
