Everyone could use someone like George Kittle in their corner.
Despite any criticism Jimmy Garoppolo may have received in 2019 and beyond, his tight end remains a vocal supporter.
During an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, Kittle didn’t hold back after Stephen A. Smith suggested that Jimmy G isn’t the first player that comes to mind when discussing the 49ers.
Kittle defended his quarterback, highlighting the strength of the team and coaching staff around him: “How is that his fault? It’s not his fault he’s on a really good team with good football players and a great head coach. He got us to the Super Bowl, so that’s what I’m saying. It’s not his fault he has Nick Bosa, he has five first-round D-linemen, he has Richard Sherman in the secondary. That’s not his fault. He goes out there and he performs week in, week out.”
