In his second season in the NFL, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has quickly established himself as one of the promising players at his position.
It has been a process toward finding success on the field that Kittle revealed has partly been influenced by a WWE legend in Stone Cold Steve Austin as he wears one of his shirts to get in the right mental space to play, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.
This is certainly a unique way to go about things for Kittle, but it's something that has worked as Steve Austin has been one of the most iconic wrestlers that the WWE has had that built his reputation as being a brash person to operates on his own clock with physicality. In that regard, there is plenty of motivation to draw from the Texas Rattlesnake, who built his wrestling career behind that persona.
It has been a contributing factor to him once again putting together another highly productive campaign as currently ranks among tight ends third in catches (62) and receiving yards (893) along with being first in yards after the catch (563) and fourth in yards per catch (14.4). Beyond that, has also notched more than 50 receiving yards all but three times while putting together a pair of 100 receiving yard outings.
Kittle has quickly emerged as one of the league's bright young rising stars at his position that should be a cornerstone factor for the 49ers offense in the passing game for the long haul.
