San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle said Wednesday he trusts Niners general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan to make the right choice with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft Thursday night.
Kittle, a supporter of 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, explained his stance during an appearance on the NFL Network's Good Morning Football:
"Jimmy's our quarterback, he has been, he's led us to a bunch of wins, we haven't won without him, his record speaks for itself. So like I said [previously], Kyle and John are doing whatever they can to make this team compete for a Super Bowl, and if they think it's bringing another quarterback, another tight end, another fullback, another linebacker, whatever it is, they're just trying to make this team better and more competitive and so I know the team trusts in them because they haven't led us astray yet.
