2025 Pre-Season Rank #34, 2024 Pre-Season Rank #42, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #59, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #74, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #86, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #93.  Peak Period: 2018-19/22-24.

The man who coined “National Tight Ends Day” would be the toast of his position over the last decade if it were not for Travis Kelce, but George Kittle has become well known just the same!

Kittle is coming off his seventh Pro Bowl, where he just broke 8,000 lifetime yards and remained one of the best blocking Tight Ends in the game.  A San Francisco 49er for all of his nine years, Kittle is now north of 30, but still plays like he is in his prime.  With Rob Gronkowski (and possibly Jason Witten) entering soon, the statistical bar for Tight Ends is growing, but if Kittle can make it to five digits in yards, coupled with the respect that he has as a blocker, he is definitely in the Canton hunt.
