George Kittle is usually the guy smiling through contact … but even the NFL’s toughest tight end is admitting this one stings.
The San Francisco 49ers’ All-Pro team captain tore his right Achilles on Sunday, ending his season during the team’s 23-19 victory to dethrone the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in the playoffs.
Kittle later took to Instagram with a raw, emotional post of him and his wife, Claire, in the locker room, straight-up telling fans "football sucks sometimes."
Not exactly the rah-rah cliché you'd expect, but Kittle didn’t stop there.
