The San Francisco 49ers checked off a major offseason to-do last week when they signed superstar tight end George Kittle to a massive contract worth $76.4 million, locking the six-time Pro-Bowler up for years to come while making him the highest-paid TE in the NFL.

During the 2024 NFL season, Kittle continued playing at a very high level. He appeared in 15 games, catching 78 passes for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns. Even at 31 years old, he's still one of the best tight ends in the league.

George Kittle spoke exclusively to NBC Sports Bay Area's Jennifer Lee Chan about putting his 49ers contract extension in the rearview mirror.
