George Kittle says it is a ‘dream come true’ to play alongside new San Francisco 49ers teammate
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has opened up about playing alongside new teammate Mike Evans. Evans and Kittle are both considered among the best players in their respective positions and are future Pro Football Hall of Famers.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has described playing alongside his new teammate Mike Evans as a "dream come true." Evans, a wide receiver, recently signed with the 49ers after a 12-year stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kittle joined the team as well, joining Hall of Famers Trent Williams and Evans in Kyle Shanahan's elite offense.
"I think Mike Evans would work in any offense because of how good he is," said Kittle on The Rich Eisen Show. "It's pretty incredible... I got really lucky. I got to play with Trent Williams, a Hall of Famer, and still plays like a Hall of Famer. Mike Evans is a Hall of Famer and still plays like a Hall of Famer." Kittle expressed his excitement about playing alongside these elite players, saying, "When you add guys like that, it's just so much fun.
Every time we call a play and I know Mike has a chance of getting the ball, I'm like, 'Ha, this is so sick.' Brock Purdy is throwing the ball to Mike Evans, and I'm blocking for him. What a dream come true." Kittle's performance has been improving, catching four receptions for 80 yards in Week 2 after only two passes for 12 yards in Week 1.
Meanwhile, Evans has contributed around 50 receiving yards in both games, helping the 49ers start their season 2-0.
