VIDEO: 49ers' George Kittle Chugs Beer Like a Champ in Background of WWE SmackDown Broadcast
By Scott Rogust

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is known not simply for his play on the gridiron, but also his eccentric personality. One fact that some people are unaware of? Kittle is a diehard professional wrestling fan. He once rushed from a postgame press conference to catch a WWE show in time, and mimicked Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson following the 49ers' Week 3 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. On Tuesday night, Kittle and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo were spotted sitting behind the broadcast table of WWE SmackDown. Once he noticed the cameras were on him, Kittle began chugging his beer, all while staring right back at the millions watching at home.

Oh, and he wasn't done there, as he chugged yet another beer on camera. Also peep Garoppolo doing the Rock's old "People's Eyebrow."

While some beer-chugging aficionados will surely claim that Kittle took too long to down his drink, we'd like to point out that there was no spillage whatsoever.
George Kittle is filling the role of "entertaining tight end" admirably, a vacant left by Rob Gronkowski. So far, so good.
