Kittle chose Urlacher, one of his idols, to break down game tape of the two players. And the Niners tight end pointed out how an Old Spice commercial featuring Urlacher was one of the reasons why Kittle grew up idolizing the Bears' standout.
On one particular interception against the Detroit Lions, however, Kittle pointed out how Urlacher wasn't exactly savvy with his return.
"My first thing on this is your YAC (yards after catch) are not good," Kittle said jokingly.
"No, I'm not a YAC guy," Urlacher responded. "If I had known you back then, I would have been so much better at YAC. At YACing."
Urlacher also got his shots in at Kittle, too, having some fun looking at "all two" of the Pro Bowl tight end's highlights, which included Kittle's lengthy touchdown catch-and-run against the Los Angeles Chargers back in 2017. The two also were able to break down Kittle's record-setting play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17 last year, which cemented a new record for most receiving yards in a single season by a tight end.
When Kittle told Urlacher the new record became 1,377 yards, Urlacher jokingly responded, "I thought it would be more than that."
"I'll do better next time," Kittle responded.
