George Kittle prepares for his ninth NFL season with the 49ers
George Kittle enters his ninth season as a key player for the San Francisco 49ers. Last year, he recorded 1,106 receiving yards and scored eight touchdowns, demonstrating his continued value to the team. Despite a solid start with a win against the New York Jets, the 49ers faced challenges midseason, losing consecutive games after their bye week and finishing with only six victories. As a result, they missed out on the playoffs.
The 49ers are now looking forward to kicking off their new season against the Seattle Seahawks on September 8, aiming to improve on last year’s performance and return to postseason contention.
