Early on, it appeared to be at least a possibility that Antonio Brown would eventually be headed out of Pittsburgh and to the Bay Area to play with the 49ers.
Once reports surfaced that the seven-time Pro-Bowl receiver might want out of the Steel City, 49ers tight end George Kittle immediately sprang into action, tweeting "Sup?" at Brown on New Year's Eve.
Well, the star tight end revealed Wednesday that he sent the tweet on a dare from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
"Jimmy totally dared me to do it,” Kittle said, via Pro Football Talk.
