The San Francisco 49ers have been competing at the highest level for much of the past few seasons, but last year they dealt with trouble.

Injury woes and struggles on both sides of the ball had the 49ers finish last season with a 6-11 record, their worst record under head coach Kyle Shanahan since the 2020 season.

Shanahan seems to be leading a rollercoaster with the 49ers. In some seasons, San Francisco was a potential perennial championship contender, while in others, it was outside of the playoffs looking in.

Despite the ups and downs, one player has been a steady contributor for Shanahan and the Niners.

Tight end George Kittle has been one of the best players at his position since entering the NFL.

During his NFL career, Kittle helped form Tight End University, where players across the league come together for a camp in Nashville during the offseason to train together.

On Wednesday, Kittle reacted to an announcement about Tight End University that mentioned the program will be welcoming a special guest performance.

George Kittle urged fans to buy tickets to Chase Rice's performance.

"Snag tickets," Kittle said. "Link in bio. Bad day to be a cold, cold beer."

"SPECIAL GUEST REVEAL," posted the official social media account of Tight End University. "We’re excited to announce that @chaserice will be hitting the stage at the Tight Ends & Friends Concert on June 24th at @bbowlnashville Chase is one of several incredible artists taking the stage, so don’t miss out on this night of live music and good vibes! Tickets are going fast‼️Make sure to grab yours now at the link in our bio."

Kittle has been phenomenal during his career with the San Francisco 49ers, helping lead his team to two Super Bowls while earning two All-Pro honors and six Pro Bowl honors.
