The first eight seasons of San Francisco 49ers tight endGeorge Kittle's career have been nothing short of prolific. From multiple 1,000-yard seasons to All-Pro selections to reaching the third-most receiving yards in franchise history, the veteran tight end has accomplished so much through his first two contracts with the red and gold. Before we officially begin this third chapter of Kittle's career, let's review all the eye-catching statistics from 2017 to 2024.
- Kittle has racked up eight-straight 500-yard receiving seasons and, by doing so, has joined former tight end Rob Gronkowski and Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end Ozzie Newsome as the only tight ends in NFL history to register 500-or-more receiving yards in each of their first eight career seasons.
- He's the third tight end in league history to have registered 500-plus receptions and 7,000-plus receiving yards in his first eight NFL seasons.

- Kittle has 21 career games with 100-plus receiving yards, the fourth-most games by a tight end in their first eight NFL seasons.
