The Rock responds to 49ers tight end George Kittle’s post-game impersonation

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is an eccentric guy.

This much we know.

So it came as no surprise when he celebrated Sunday’s 24-20 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Niners locker room with an impersonation of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson that called back to Johnson’s wrestling persona.

What came as a bit of a surprise, though, is that The Rock — who’s followed by 13.8 million people on Twitter — responded.

Born in the Bay Area, Johnson actually lived in Hayward until he was two years old, but doesn’t have any Bay Area memories except as a visitor.
