The 49ers have one of the NFL’s most prolific tight ends, George Kittle, but he also comes with a pretty extensive injury history.

Let’s just settle this debate: The San Francisco 49ers’ George Kittle is the NFL’s best overall tight end.

Sure, the Kansas City ChiefsTravis Kelce might be the single-season yards leader at the position (taking away a record previously set by Kittle), and Kelce might be more of a scoring threat.
