George Kittle remains the top-ranked tight end despite recovering from a torn Achilles, showcasing elite consistency with seven Pro Bowl nods and a five-year streak as PFF’s highest-graded TE. Even missing six games last season, he still hauled in 57 catches for 628 yards and 7 TDs, cementing his role as Brock Purdy’s most dangerous target — their duo posted a jaw-dropping 141.1 passer rating with 5 TDs and 0 INTs. Kittle’s rehab is progressing fast, with him off crutches and sprinting over 16 mph, and he’s on track to return for Week One against the Rams in Australia — a major boost for the 49ers’ offense.
