One thing benefiting Kittle that many players can't claim is unrivaled stability in an offensive scheme. Kittle played all four years of his college career for Kirk Ferentz at Iowa and Kyle Shanahan's offense is the only one he's played in during his NFL career.

George Kittle landed another 49ers extension this offseason, and he is now tied to the team through 2029. The All-Pro tight end did not enjoy an entirely smooth process during negotiations, but he is satisfied to be in position to finish his career in San Francisco.
