Someone explain how his stats weren’t 10 times better in college.
he came in as a skinny kid and red shirted in 2012; his last year (2016) he was battling injuries

here's some more info from HawkeyeSports.com; as you can see, in 2016 he was constantly battling injuries; in 2015, we went 12-0, so I find it hard to find much fault with the coaches in how they used players.

His production was strong in '15 ... 6 TDs by a TE is nothing to sneeze at. However, you have to remember that he wasn't any finished product in college ... he had to improve year-in and year-out. In '15, he was still "behind" his cousin Henry.

As for his SR season ... Beathard was a statue due to his bum knee ... so that impacted plenty pass attempts (b/c pass rushers were emboldened). Kittle himself was impacted by injury throughout much of the season. Lastly, Iowa's WR situation sucked crap that season (at least after VandeBerg went down to injury) .... so it made it that much easier to limit an injured Kittle.

Sometimes I think some folks just aren't paying attention to our beloved team!

As he himself has said several times before, he was consistently hurt and didn't take football very seriously his first few years on campus.
His production was strong in '15 ... 6 TDs by a TE is nothing to sneeze at. However, you have to remember that he wasn't any finished product in college ... he had to improve year-in and year-out. In '15, he was still "behind" his cousin Henry.

TBH this was just a Husker fan taking a playful jab but I can understand the situation after these replies. If you just pull up the stats you would think he was underutilized but injuries can upend everything in a hurry.
 
Yeah, the guy who has made Iowa into the best factory for churning out big time TE’s in the whole nation is to blame. You are to blame for the IQ on this board getting even lower.

Yeah I thought Kittle was good/had good athletic ability from the time he first started playing. When Kittle first started playing, Fiedorowicz, Duzey and Krieger-Coble were older and legitimate players. Duzey especially could have been a great TE if not for the patellar tendon tear. Ran away from the OSU secondary before the injuries hit. 2015 he was good, was a key part of the double TE tandem with Krieger-Coble. 2016 could have been a huge year for him but he got hurt and Iowa's passing game was in shambles. He got healthy and got to a great spot with the 49'ers where the coach knows how to get him open.
 
George really is the standard bearer for a number of players we have had come through the program over the years. Not much fanfare in the beginning but worked hard and listened to what the coaches told him. Now, he is a star in the NFL. When I look at George and his accomplishments, it reminds me why I don't get upset over lack of stars and other offers. This staff knows talent when they see it and they know how to development that talent.

I was a little surprised when Ferentz spoke pretty highly of him prior to his RS FR season ... and he went on to be be pretty productive that year. However, he seemed to completely drop off the radar in '14. This may have been the signature of a SO slump ... or a demonstration of some immaturity (common among young players).
 
Please remember that the OC throughout his Iowa career was GDGD. He de-emphasized the TE in the offense.

Practically criminal, especially considering the lack of high end talent at the WR spot.

This fact along with injuries was the reason for his lack of big time production. Many of us were screaming at the top of our lungs to throw it to the TE. Rarely happened.

Sorry, but your comment about Greg Davis's O is a bit revisionist. Iowa threw the ball quite a bit to TEs during that era ... from '13-'15, the Hawks had 50+ receptions to the TEs each season ... that's not a bad number. The problem was that the TE was mainly just an outlet receiver ... so during the Davis-era, our TEs tended to have a lower YPR. One of the few counter-examples were Kittle's production (and Duzey in '13). If you look at Fiedorowicz's production in '13 or Duzey's in '14 ... each had a surprisingly low YPR.

George is the best TE in the NFL. He is also #29 on the Top 100 player list.

Watch this; it's worth your time.



He is a GREAT player, and an even a more dominate NFL player than he was in college. However, on your quote above, I believe the players rated Travis Kelce of the Chiefs higher as a TE at #21.
 
49ers’ George Kittle draws a comparison to Julio Jones from Kyle Shanahan
By David Bonilla
Jul 28, 2019 at 1:46 PM • 0

George Kittle is preparing for the follow-up to his record-breaking 2018 campaign. In case you hadn't heard, the San Francisco 49ers' second-year player set a new NFL record for single-season receiving yards by a tight end with 1,377 yards.

You probably already knew that, though.

Kittle has an impressive work ethic. It's not just his skills as a downfield threat that make him dangerous to opposing defenses. Kittle is also proud of his blocking. Very proud.

"When I first got to Iowa, I was 6-foot-2, and like 200 pounds, so I was definitely not a stereotypical tight end," Kittle said in January. "The first thing my strength coach said to me was if you want to play tight end at Iowa, you have to learn how to run-block. So that's something I took a lot of pride in, and I still do to this day.

"I personally think if you can move a guy from point A to point B against his will, that's a better feeling than scoring a touchdown, in my opinion. If you can put a guy on his back and he doesn't want to be on his back, it's a great feeling. There is not much that can beat that."


Kittle on Friday again stated that his favorite plays are those in which he doesn't have the football in his hands.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters about Kittle's team-first mentality, which drew a comparison to another player Shanahan coached when he was the offensive coordinator in Atlanta.

"I think it's great," Shanahan said. "I'm sure he's not telling the whole truth. Everybody would much rather have the ball but he George is a football player, and that's what you want. Football players don't care. I mean, they're competitive as can be, and if they believe in themselves, they want to help the team win. But if you're a football player, you can help the team win in any way possible. That's what George does.

"It's exactly how (wide receiver) Julio (Jones) was. I mean, he's getting double-teamed, he's not yelling at us for not getting him the ball. He's telling other guys they've got to make plays to help get him open. And that's how good football players are, and that's how good teams are. When your better players act like that, I think it teaches the younger guys how they should be."

How can Kittle further improve his game? Shanahan says he wants his tight end to beat his opponent, even if that opponent is perceived as a better player. He also wants to see more consistency in his route running. Sometimes, it is easy to forget that Kittle is just entering his third NFL season because of everything he has already accomplished.

"He can get better at a lot of things," Shanahan continued. "He can get better at blocking. I'd like to say he can get better at the run after the catch, but I do think that's the thing he's doing the best because he did that better than anyone last year. But just the consistency of beating man-to-man coverage, catching the ball, and trying to be the best."

One player who could benefit from Kittle demanding more attention from opposing defenses is wide receiver Marquise Goodwin. He also discussed Kittle's selflessness on Sunday.

"You see his mindset," Goodwin said. "He's just an all-around great dude. He's so selfless […] He didn't worry about getting the ball. He's worried about getting open and being productive for the team. He had the right mindset and I think that's why he was blessed with that opportunity.

"I can't say enough good things about him. I can't wait to see what he does this year, as well as the team."

Read George Kittle's touching thank you on signed jersey to Iowa coach
By Ali Thanawalla
July 31, 2019 9:25 AM

George Kittle caught six passes for 133 yards during his first two seasons at Iowa. But things changed in his final two seasons with the Hawkeyes, as the tight end grabbed 42 passes for 604 yards and 10 touchdowns.

So, what led to Kittle's emergence? The now-49ers star credits LeVar Woods, Iowa's tight ends coach at the time.

On Tuesday, a few hours after Kittle was named to NFL Network's Top 100 Players of 2019 list, Woods posted a photo of a signed Pro Bowl jersey that the tight end sent him.

The message that Kittle wrote is moving.

"Coach Woods, Thank you for helping me take advantage of every opportunity in my last two years of college. Without your guidance and friendship, I would not be where I am today. You helped me achieve one of my dreams. Always remember that you have an incredibly positive voice and infectious personality. I wish we could have played together. You will always be an honorary tight end!"

Following Kittle's senior season, the 49ers used a 2017 fifth-round draft pick on him, and he had a breakout sophomore season in San Francisco.

Kittle's record-breaking 2018 led to his first Pro Bowl selection. He's the only 49ers offensive player to make NFL Network's list.

It's good to see a star player not forgetting where he came from and who helped him reach such heights.
