Pictured somewhere on the ground of the header here is George Kittle, unsuccessfully attempting to do something about it after Aaron Donald had sacked Jimmy Garoppolo and forced a fumble that was recovered by Cory Littleton, who pitched it to Nickel Robey-Coleman. But you won’t find many moments of anguish when looking for pictures of the 49ers tight end through three seasons of play and San Francisco is banking record numbers on the idea that you won’t see many more.
The 49ers have reportedly signed Kittle to a five-year, $75 million extension, which is $21 million more than the record total number for a tight end signed by Rob Gronkowski in 2012.
