He also blocks adeptly to open things up for his teammates, and he&#8217;s also known for his physical style of play, as he loves to initiate and create contact with or without the football.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>He was seen in an Instagram post sporting some new tattoos on his arm, and fans had a variety of reactions.<\/p>\n<section><\/section>\n<p>&#8220;This goes so hard!&#8221; one fan wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here me out aragorn on the other shoulder,&#8221; another fan wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now Frodo Baggins on the other arm,&#8221; a third fan wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Holy [expletive] that looks so good!&#8221; a fourth fan wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hard,&#8221; a fifth fan wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;NOW HE NEED THE RING!!! Let go get it!!!&#8221; a sixth fan wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Kittle caught 78 passes and posted 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns last season. While the Niners were ravaged by a gnarly rash of injuries starting in training camp, Kittle was one key player who was able to remain mostly healthy throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>He was named to his fourth straight Pro Bowl and sixth Pro Bowl overall in 2024. While the Las Vegas Raiders&#8217; Brock Bowers and the Arizona Cardinals&#8217; Trey McBride had more receiving yards than Kittle, Kittle averaged more yards per reception than either of them.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/IqZWioaCGKeEVcWnbe7Yxw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY2NDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/athlon_sports_articles_610\/daeeb2577d3bef86f4f4cfb209d447c6\" alt=\"George Kittle's Change in Physical Appearance is Turning Heads\" width=\"960\" height=\"664\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><dialog aria-label=\"Image Lightbox\" aria-modal=\"true\"><\/dialog><\/div><figcaption>San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (85).\u00a9 Mark J&amp;period; Rebilas-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Pro Football Focus gave him a 92.1 overall grade for the 2024 campaign, which was the highest it gave to any NFL tight end.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco let a number of key players leave this offseason in free agency, but Kittle and several others remain.
