Every team has dealt with the "one who got away." The 49ers will make sure that doesn't happen with star tight end George Kittle, who is set for a huge payday in the near future.
Hall of Fame executive Gil Brandt listed his 12 players whose teams should never let them get away, and Kittle came in just behind Kansas City Chiefs star. Brandt believes Kittle is the perfect tight end, just as Rob Gronkowski was to the New England Patriots in his prime.
"He's a true dual-threat tight end in the mold of Rob Gronkowski," Brandt recently wrote.
