It was a down year across the board for the San Francisco 49ers in 2024, meaning that George Kittle and the rest of the faithful will have to reassert themselves in the NFC in order to regain confidence from outsiders.
The NFL is releasing its top-100 player rankings for the 2025 season, and the star tight end has fallen from his top-20 ranking that was revealed just over one year ago.
George Kittle, who was ranked as the 17th-best player in the league during last year’s rankings, comes in at number 31 in this year’s edition of the NFL Top-100.
During the course of his eight-year career, the 31-year-old has been named to six Pro Bowl teams, including four straight heading into the 2025 season.
Kittle has also been named to two First-Team All-Pro rosters and three Second-Team All-Pro lists, including a Second-Team nod during the 2024 season.
