How tight end George Kittle used 49ers resources to propose to his girlfriend

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle suffered a separated shoulder during the team's exhibition opener on August 9. The injury didn't keep him from getting down on one knee the next day.

Kittle proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Claire Till, and wasn't afraid to use 49ers resources to do so. He gave Damon Bruce the play-by-play during a Thursday night interview on 95.7 The Game.

"I'm not going to brag but I think I killed it, I'm not going to lie," Kittle said. "I convinced my fiancé — well, girlfriend at the time — that the 49ers were doing a photo shoot for girlfriends and boyfriends, husbands and wives that they were going to put in the brochures and on the website. So I had our head photographer and two of our head video guys basically do a fake photo shoot down on the Santa Cruz beach, and so she basically had no idea.

"We were doing a whole photo shoot on the beach; cameras, we had a drone down there, lighting, everything that you possibly need. Got her a little bit distracted and then cut to the pop the question. It was pretty awesome."

Kittle said the team's staff is putting together a 10-minute video of the whole thing using the footage that it got.

"I didn't think he was going to bring the drone out, but when he did, I was like, 'You know what? Screw it. That will be pretty fun,'" Kittle added.
