Arriving as a fifth-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, George Kittle was never expected to be an NFL star. Yet, that’s exactly what the six-time Pro Bowl tight end has developed into, despite 145 other players being drafted ahead of him.
Kittle’s wildly successful NFL career has opened up paths he otherwise may have never had. One of them, could involve getting involved in wrestling, which the Madison, Wisconsin native has become a humongous fan of.
While Kittle is still going strong with the 49ers, once the soon-to-be 32-year-old’s NFL career is done, he says he’d “love” to begin a WWE career.
As he noted, Kittle has already made a few appearances in a WWE ring. With how popular he’s become in the NFL, Kittle could very well find a WWE career waiting for him once he does decide he’s officially done playing pro football.
For now, Kittle is still at the peak of his NFL playing career, coming off his fourth 1,000-yard season. One of the greatest tight ends of his era, Kittle has already accomplished a lot in the NFL, but he’s still hunting for his first Super Bowl ring, despite making two Super Bowl appearances.
