George Kittle arguably had better measurables than O.J. Howard, who was a mid first round pick from the same draft. Kittle can be described as an athletic TE. So I completely disagree with you.
Is Kittle seen as a subpar TE because he probably won't have many 80 yard TDs like Vernon Davis did?
He probably wasn't fast enough to score on that bomb he dropped, but it still would have been a huge gain.
Didn't Vance McDonald have a very long TD for us against the Panthers two years ago? And his overall 49er contributions have already been exceeded by Kittle in one season.
I like Kittle a lot. I didn't watch the Redskins game last year but my friend who likes the Skins asked "who is this Kittle guy, he keeps making plays?".
He's a good TE, IMO.
