49ers' George Kittle hilariously trolls ESPN during ‘GMFB' appearance

Share

George Kittle has become a household name in the NFL ... or so we thought.

The 49ers tight end had an unbelievable 2018 season, breaking the single-season record for receiving yards by a tight end. Once Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski announced he was retiring, Kittle immediately was mentioned in the conversation for best tight end in the NFL.

ESPN even released a poll on social media asking fans who the best tight end in the NFL is with Gronk gone. The only problem was they forgot what the star tight end's first name was, labeling him as "Greg Kittle."

Ouch.

Kittle had some fun with the goof Friday during his appearance on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football," choosing to wear a nametag with Greg written on it.

Well done.

Greg, er, George Kittle and the 49ers have high expectations heading into the 2019 season, but if they stay healthy, there's no reason to think they won't live up to their potential.
