San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce spoke with Jay Glazer at Super Bowl LIV Opening Night inside Marlins Park in Miami. The two gushed over one another and are big fans of how the other plays the game.
So what did Kelce, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, and two-time first-team All-Pro, have to say about his 49ers counterpart?

Tonight is the only time the two teams will be together before kickoff at Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, February 2, at Hard Rock Stadium.
