Kittle, LaPorta Named to All-Pro Teams

The NFL All-Pro teams were announced Friday and Iowa’s reputation as Tight End U is alive and well as George Kittle and Sam LaPorta were named to the All-Pro teams. Kittle was named as the first-team tight end, while LaPorta - a rookie - was named to the second-team spot.

Kittle finished the regular season with 65 receptions for 1,020 yards and 6 touchdowns. He averaged 15.7 yards per reception as the 49ers finished as NFC West champions and earned the NFC’s top overall seed. They will play Green Bay in the Divisional Round after the Packers beat Dallas, 48-32.
