George Kittle is apparently a fan of Adam Copeland.
San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle, a known wrestling fan, wore an Adam Copeland (formerly known as Edge in WWE) shirt ahead of the 49ers' Monday Night Football game against the Minnesota Vikings on Ocotber 23. Specifically, he was wearing a shirt from the Brood era of Copeland's career.

Like Copeland, The Vikings proved to be ultimate opportunists when they clinched the win with a crucial interception late in the fourth quarter. The 49ers emerged victorious by a final score of 22-17.
Kittle is one of the top tight ends in the NFL; he is a four-time Pro Bowler, and he was a first-team All-Pro in 2019. Copeland left WWE and signed with AEW; he made his debut at AEW WrestleDream on October 1.
AEW star Penta El Zero Miedo previously gave Kittle a custom 49ers Lucha mask. More information is available here.
Penta and Kittle recently teamed up for a new clothing line with Chubbies. More information is available here.
Kittle helped Pat McAfee defeat The Miz at WrestleMania 39. He has stated that he would love to get back in a WWE ring. Click here to see what he had to say.
