George Kittle loves football, and he’s fun to watch. A relentless competitor with a big personality, he’s become one of the NFL’s most impactful tight ends since being drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in 2017. Kittle has racked up over 6,000 career receiving yards and 37 touchdowns, thriving as both a receiving threat and one of the league’s most punishing blockers. A six-time Pro Bowler, he’s been a key piece of the 49ers’ sustained success, including multiple deep playoff runs and a Super Bowl appearance. But Kittle’s influence extends well beyond the field.
Known for being business savvy, he has parlayed his success into a growing brand. As the creative director for Chubbies—a men’s apparel company celebrated for its bold, retro-style shorts and weekend-ready vibe—Kittle brings his infectious energy to a brand that aligns perfectly with his personality. He’s also a co-founder of Tight End University, alongside Travis Kelce and Greg Olsen, helping mentor the next generation at his position. His endorsement deals include Bud Light, Nike, Zenni Optical, and more, showcasing his crossover appeal. Recently, he signed a four-year, $76.4 million extension with $40 million guaranteed, putting him on track to become the highest-paid tight end in NFL history—cementing his legacy as both a gridiron superstar and a commercial force.
