George Kittle and DeForest Buckner are the beer-drinking champions of the world ... or at least the portion of the world of big names who listen to the "Bussin' With the Boys" podcast.
The San Francisco 49ers tight end and his former teammate, now with the Indianapolis Colts, won the second annual "2023 Beer Olympics." NFL offensive lineman turned podcaster Taylor Lewan hosted last week's event (h/t Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).

Other participants included a couple of Green Bay Packers, offensive lineman David Bakhtiari and tight end Tucker Kraft, singer/songwriter Jelly Roll, and Fox Sports rules analyst Dean Blandino.
Bakhtiari easily beat Kittle, Kraft, and Buckner in the beer-chugging event.

In the end, though, Kittle and Buckner took home the trophy.
Kittle and his 49ers veteran teammates will report to training camp in Santa Clara on July 25. Rookies will report a week earlier, on July 18.
