5. The Birth of the Jimmy G <> Kittle Connection
Week 16 vs. JAX - December 24, 2017Now the play itself is not amazing, but this is the first time Garoppolo and Kittle connected for a touchdown together in their careers. This score gave the 49ers a 23-19 lead in the 3rd quarter in what turned out to be a shootout, ending in a 44-33 win for San Francisco. Way to make an impact rookie!
Levi's Stadium should see a healthy amount of TDs from this duo in the coming years.
4. Blocking Beast
Week 15 vs. ATL - December 15, 2019I can't help but include a blocking play since it's one of the primary reasons why Kittle is the best TE in the NFL. Not only does George block like a lineman, but he genuinely finds joy in putting another man on his behind. Although it was in a losing effort, it's hard not to smile (as George smiles) after this block on Ricardo Allen.
3. One Handed Grab
Week 9 vs. OAK - November 1, 2018In a season during which there was not much to be excited about, George Kittle electrified 49ers fans with this crazy one-handed catch versus the then Oakland Raiders. He even admitted in a post-game interview that his eyes weren't even open when he caught it.
2. Record Breaker
Week 17 @ LAR - December 30, 2018In the last few minutes of the 2018 season, Kittle set the record for the most receiving yards by a TE with 1,377 after a 43-yard tuddy from Nick Mullens. What a season.
