The NFL season didn’t end the way that the San Francisco 49ers or start tight end George Kittle had hoped for when the season first began.
Kittle’s season ended in the NFC Wild Card round when he suffered a torn achilles against the Philadelphia Eagles. Miraculously, San Francisco still found a way to advance to the NFL Divisional Round.
However, once there, they were promptly and throughout dispatched by NFC West rival Seattle to the tune of a 41-6 butt-kicking.
“Surgery went really, really good,” Kittle said of the injury. “(The doctor) said best-case scenario when you tear an Achilles is that you tear it up high by your soleus, which is what I did. I had a clean tear. They didn’t have to drill into my heel. And where the repair was, there’s more blood flow. And so it takes some time off of the recovery time… It’s not as bad as other ones.
“I knew exactly when it happened; it felt like someone put a shotgun up against my calf and pulled the trigger,” he added. “The second it happened, I knew exactly what it was… Unfortunate, but football’s tough sometimes.”
But Kittle isn’t letting the injury spoil his offseason fun.
Despite the injury, Kittle still found his way to the golf course where the 32-year-old used a power-assisted club manufactured by EzeeGolf that allowed him to hit the ball without having to plant, or rotate, or even stand up, as the video shows.

Kittle, who was also playing without a shirt for some reason, was seen seated in a golf cart and pressing a simple button that activates a ballistic charge that sets off a piston and fires the ball down the course.
Because golf should be for everyone, even All-Pro tight ends with one fully functioning achilles tendon.
