description

Powerful play and All-Pro potential might’ve been evident for those watching George Kittle in Year One, but with one perfectly-designed “pick route” from his teammate, San Francisco did their part in presenting him as a well-kept secret. Precise in his steps during the 49ers’ creative three-receiver pattern, Kittle submitted an early-season example of his greatness, pairing a clearout block with his own slant route before securing a game-tying touchdown. Kittle’s clutch display — leaving just 20 seconds remaining, and ultimately prompting overtime — became the defining highlight in his seven-catch, 83-yard, one-touchdown afternoon, as San Francisco fell 26-23 against the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 8, 2017.
