49ers’ George Kittle Nominated for FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week 14 Award
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has been nominated for the prestigious FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week 14 Award, recognizing his outstanding performance during Week 14 of the 2023 NFL season.
The award, typically spotlighting exceptional quarterbacks and running backs, reflects Kittle’s rare ability to dominate as a tight end in both the passing game and as a dynamic offensive weapon.
Kittle played a pivotal role in the 49ers’ Week 14 victory, showcasing his elite skill set and proving why he remains one of the most reliable and explosive players in the league. His contributions extended beyond mere statistics, as he provided critical momentum-shifting plays that helped lead the 49ers to another win in their pursuit of playoff positioning.
In the game, Kittle displayed his signature combination of power, agility, and precise route-running, hauling in several key receptions and turning them into significant yardage after the catch. His ability to extend plays and contribute in clutch moments has made him a cornerstone of San Francisco’s offense.
The FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week Award traditionally honors standout performances in both the passing and rushing aspects of the game. While it primarily highlights quarterbacks and running backs, Kittle’s nomination underscores his unique versatility. Few tight ends in the league can impact the game the way Kittle does—both as a receiving threat and a dominant blocker in the running game.
Fans have the opportunity to vote for Kittle to win the award. Voting takes place on the NFL’s official website and remains open until the end of the week. Winners of the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week are announced shortly afterward, with donations made in their names to the U.S. Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) programs.
This is not the first time Kittle has earned league-wide recognition. Known for his high-energy playing style and leadership on and off the field, Kittle continues to solidify his reputation as one of the NFL’s most complete and dynamic tight ends.
Kittle’s nomination is a testament to his exceptional performance and his integral role in the 49ers’ success this season. Fans and analysts alike will eagerly await the results as voting concludes later this week.
