George Kittle

I posted this in the main board thread on eye opener guys post combine

 

George Kittle, this dude will be around in the 4th. Get us this kid!!

Havnt really heard of him until the combine and that caused me to look into him.

 

Cousin of a NFL TE son of a former Iowa teamcaptain/OL

 

Kittle came to the combine

6'4 247

4.52 40

35 vert

132 broad

 

The reason we are in dire need of a TE isnt to replace Olsen. #2 TEs in Rivera/Shula's offense, is more of a H-Back role. More of a blocker role but will still go and run routes and catch the ball. Dickson cant block for poo. I dont know who blocks worse, Dickson from the TE or Remmers/Bell from OT

 

Kittles has the athletic ability to become a good pass catcher, he has a solid mentor in Olsen. Combine that with the good head on his shoulders, it shouldnt be hard for him to learn

And he has the blocking covered. You can tell he's a son of a OL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part of the reason I probably didnt hear much of him until the combine, there just isnt to much film on him. He's not a guy that going to light it up etc stat wise. But he has the potential to and possibly one of the best TEs ive seen doing the dirty work

Here is about the only highlights ive found on him

I like this player and have been keeping an eye on him.  Apparently so too has Mike Mayock:

I like the guy a lot

Unfortunately, so will the rest of the league

Doubt he lasts to the bottom of the 3rd however.  And, doubt we take him in the first 2 rounds
