It was a busy Friday for San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle. He joined ESPN's Golic and Wingo podcast, FS1's First Things First, and called into Pro Football Talk Live. He also did an Ask Me Anything (AMA) with Bleacher Report and responded to several questions from fans.

In case you were wondering, Kittle keeps four Jimmy Garoppolo shirts in his locker, prefers Chick-Fil-A over Popeyes (Panda Express probably tops all, though), and has been eating Eggo Waffles as a quarantine snack.

One fan asked Kittle about the most hostile road environments he's ever played in. As you would expect, the Seattle Seahawks' and New Orleans Saints' home stadiums immediately came to mind. Then, Kittle used the opportunity to throw a little shade on an Iowa rival.

"Seattle's incredible because they're loud the entire game," wrote Kittle as a response. "New Orleans was awesome because it was a 12pm kickoff and it felt like a night game. The hardest place to play in college is Purdue. It's not always packed so it's enough to lull you to sleep."

Kittle also revealed his favorite play during his three NFL seasons. The answer shouldn't be a surprise to 49ers fans, as it is probably their favorite plays of last season, and maybe their favorite in several years.

Yes, it is that 4th-and-2 play against the Saints that saw the All-Pro tight end dragging Saints defenders downfield for a 39-yard gain and setting up the win.

"That was a wild ride," wrote Kittle.
