George Kittle wants to play until the wheels fall off and then go into WWE
George Kittle is 31 and has a contract with the 49ers through the 2029 season when he will be 36. The tight end, though, has not even considered retirement, with a desire to play until the wheels fall off.
'Literally, [I'm going to play] until I don't have fun anymore,' Kittle said on Bussin' with the Boys podcast, via NBC Sports Bay Area.. 'Or if [wife] Claire looks at me and goes, 'You kinda look like shit out there; you should retire'. I'll be like, 'All right.'
'I don't know. I think if I get to 35, and it hurts to put pants on in the morning, I think I'll be like, 'Ah, this isn't that much fun anymore,' and I'll have a conversation with myself. But I'm feeling great right now.'
Kittle has 538 receptions for 7,380 yards and 45 touchdowns in eight seasons, earning six Pro Bowls.
While retirement isn't in his future, Kittle has thought about what comes next.
'I haven't daydreamed about it or anything like that, but I'm definitely aware that there are potential opportunities and doors that could be open,' Kittle said. 'So I'm just excited about that stuff. I would love to do WWE. I think there's definitely opportunity within that world, and I would love nothing more than to be a part of it.
'My only question mark with that is I so much love being a fan of WWE. I would only do WWE if I bought a ring and practiced my ass off for a long time, so I wouldn't look like an idiot out there. I've been in a WWE ring like three times. I don't know what I'm doing out there. I have an understanding of how it works, but I haven't moonsaulted off the top rope at WrestleMania like Pat McAfee did.'
For now, WWE can wait. Kittle still has more catches to make, more games to win, and he hopes, a Lombardi Trophy to hoist.

Taylor Swift's Outfit at Travis Kelce's Big Event Is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Pop star Taylor Swift made a splash on Monday when she stepped out in Nashville for the Tight End University welcome event, hosted by her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. While Kelce and other NFL stars, including San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and former Seattle Seahawks star Greg Olsen, gathered for a weekend of football-focused training and bonding, it was Swift's stylish summer outfit that quickly stole the spotlight online. A group photo shared by the Taylor Swift Updates fan account on X (formerly known as Twitter), featuring Swift alongside George Kittle's wife, Claire Kittle, drew immediate reaction from fans. 'Pretty face, pretty outfit,' one user wrote. 'How does she always look so freaking beautiful?' another gushed. The green-and-white checkered two-piece ensemble was described by many as a fun throwback to Swift's 2014/15 fashion era. Other fans praised the look as 'such a throwback to the two pieces she used to wear all the time,' and several noted how her lighter lipstick and soft waves made her 'look so stunning.' Another fan summed it up with enthusiasm: 'omggg she looks so gorgeous.' Swift's choice of a structured, plaid crop top and matching high-waisted skirt was not only on-trend but also reflective of her signature blend of classic and playful style. The event is part of a rare public appearance streak for the couple, who were also spotted in New York City last week. The two had dinner at an Italian restaurant after Kelce wrapped up minicamp with the Chiefs. He then flew to Nashville for TEU, with Swift by his side in full support.
