The 'NFL tight end 1,000-receiving-yard seasons' quiz

Happy 32nd birthday to six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro tight end George Kittle!

Unfortunately for Kittle and the San Francisco 49ers, the nine-year veteran from Iowa is spending his birthday on injured reserve as he recovers from a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 1’s 17-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks. 

While there was some hope he might return for their Week 6 clash against Tampa Bay, it looks like Kittle will have to wait until their matchup with the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7 to return.

"He's doing good, but I think it'd be a long shot for this week," Shanahan said.

"Just talking to the doctors a second ago, probably looking more like the following week." 

Despite missing Kittle (and a slew of other important pieces), the Niners have managed to post a 4-1 record through the first five weeks of the season with players like Mac Jones and Jake Tonges stepping up when needed. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Kittle came into the 2025 NFL season with back-to-back 1,000-receiving-yard seasons and four in his career. With that being said, how many of the NFL tight ends to reach that milestone can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
