San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has impressed his fans all offseason with his workout regimen. He is preparing to lead his team through its "Legendary Revenge Tour" this season — assuming there is a season — and has his sights set on a return trip to the Super Bowl.
Below is just a small sample of some of the videos that have made their way through social media.

One NFL player who suits up for a division rival, linebacker Bobby Wagner of the Seattle Seahawks, recently took notice, paying Kittle a compliment by calling him a "beast."
Kittle responded in classic Kittle fashion with "Trying to find a way to stay 6 feet away from you, man!!" The tight end, of course, is blending social distancing with avoiding the division rival on the football field.

The 49ers and Seahawks are scheduled to face each other twice this season with the first matchup coming in Seattle during Week 8 in November, and the second taking place at Levi's Stadium in Week 17. We'll have to wait until then to see if Kittle can keep his distance from Wagner on his way to first downs and, hopefully, the end zone.
