George Kittle Opens Up About His Dramatic Weight Loss and Gain After Shoulder Surgery
San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle recently revealed that he experienced a significant weight loss and gain during the offseason, shedding 30 pounds after undergoing shoulder surgery.
Kittle suffered an A/C joint separation on his right shoulder during the Super Bowl, which kept him from working out for a period. He jokingly recalled his weight dip, saying, “214lbs, it was really fun. My wife was like: ‘What are you right now?’ I said: ‘Ah, thanks sweetie, I feel great about myself.'”
However, Kittle explained that he lost weight quickly due to his inability to lift weights after the surgery. “If I don’t work out, I lose weight pretty fast,” he said. “Because I had the A/C thing with my shoulder from the Super Bowl, and from the surgery, I couldn’t really do any type of lifting.”

Kittle is looking to bounce back this season after a successful campaign that ended in a Super Bowl loss. In the regular season, he made 65 receptions for 1,020 yards and six touchdowns.

Kittle’s injury hampered his performance in the Super Bowl, where he made only two receptions for four yards as the 49ers fell to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Despite the setback, Kittle is looking forward to a strong comeback this season.
