George Kittle will probably struggle to top his devastatingly efficient 2024 production

George Kittle was undoubtedly the 49ers’ best offensive player in a hugely disappointing 2024 season.

Kittle recorded a second successive 1,000-yard campaign — his fourth overall — racking up 1,106 receiving yards and scoring eight touchdowns.

He was clearly the most efficient tight end in football, ending the season with a total Expected Points Added of 95, the most among any player at the position, with Brock Bowers (92.21) second.

Bowers won first-team All-Pro ahead of Kittle, having set NFL records for the most receptions in a single season by a rookie (112) and the most receiving yards in a single season by a rookie tight end (1,194).
