I hope Kittle does play alot this year. Would be great to see him become the best TE in this supposedly deepest class (blackest class) of TEs in recent memory.
49ers fifth-round TE George Kittle is getting first-team reps at minicamp.
Vance McDonald appears to be on the outs in San Francisco, while Garrett Celek and Logan Paulsen are mostly blockers. Kittle played "exclusively" with the starters on the first day of minicamp and "for long stretches was (Brian) Hoyer's go-to guy." A superb athlete with 4.52 speed at 6-foot-4, 247, Kittle has a realistic chance to earn a significant rookie-year role.
Nice to see Jared Abbrederis making plays and doing his best to make the Lions roster. Unfortunately he has to compete with another good wr in Jace Billingsley and of course black privilege with a rookie getting handed the starting job with no racial apprenticeship of course.
ESPN Lions reporter Michael Rothstein reports WR Jared Abbrederis "continually made plays" during OTAs.
Coach Jim Caldwell praised Abbrederis earlier this month, and OC Jim Bob Cooter added the receiver is having a "nice spring." It seems like the former Packer is well on his way to a roster spot with an outside chance at the No. 3 receiver job, although third-rounder Kenny Golladay looks like the early favorite.
