Nashville, Tenn. And The San Francisco 49ers star Tight End George Kittle returned to the normal season form on Tuesday when he participated in training at the annual tight end university event in Nashville, Tennessee.
Kittle had a memorable high season when he and the 49s agreed on a massive four -year contract extension, which is allegedly worth $ 74.6 million, with $ 35 million guaranteed. The deal made him the highest paid tight and it will run through the 2029 season and he has earned every penny.

He emerged as one of the top tight ends in the NFL in his season when he earned a Pro Bowl-Nikk and another team of all-pro selection in 2018. From there, Kittle has been one of the most reliable parts of 49ers’ violation.
He had 78 catches in 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024. He has 538 catches in 7,380 yards and 45 touchdowns in 113 career matches with San Francisco.

Kittle was with dozens of other tight ends, including Kansas City Chiefs Star Travis Kelce and three-time pro bowler Greg Olsen as they worked together to improve their performance on the field and strengthen their bond from the field.
The trio established Tight End University in 2021, giving players at all levels of their careers the opportunity to “tie, collaborate with and learn among their peers, while participating in a number of activities, including film studio, on-field exercises, improvement, rehabilitation and more,” according to the tight end university site.
