George Kittle, the San Francisco 49ers tight end is known for going all out during his gym workouts. The strong man always aims to stand out from his NFC West rivals. In fact, in order to scare away other tight ends, the 6’4″ player keeps on showing his immaculate strength by casually repping 635-pound deadlifts.

Last year, a video went viral showing the 29-year-old lifting deadlifts with the hex bar. In the video, it looked like it was an everyday thing for the star footballer, as it didn’t even look like he was breaking a sweat. Fans were in disbelief when they saw the now viral video. However, it sees like there’s a new athlete in town who is set to give him head-to-head competition.

Rams’ Ethan Evans surpasses George Kittle

The Los Angeles Rams recently roped in a punter in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Although no one readily recognizes the 223rd pick of the draft, Ethan Evans, a Division II punter from Wingate University, is set to give some serious competition to George Kittle, as he is also known for deadlifting an insane amount of weight.

Evans recently posted an Instagram clip in which he was seen deadlifting a whopping 770 pounds. In fact, he ended up doing not one but two reps with utter ease. Post that, the young gun did eight reps of 605 pins and benched 225 pounds eight times without flinching one bit.

Redditors went crazy when they saw the new LA Rams punter lifting weights as if he’s The Hulk. They pointed out that Kittle must feel a certain way after seeing the video. “Kittle breathing heavily,” a Redditor commented. Will Kittle react to the comparison made by the fans?

Evans, a 6-foot-4 punter, averaged 45.7 yards per punt and pinned 39 out of 77 inside the 20-yard line during his time at Wingate. He recorded 30 punts that went for 50-plus yards and had a longest punt of 67 yards. The Rams picked Evans in the seventh round, and are optimistic that he will provide a huge boost to them.

Kittle once hilariously booed LeBron James during the Lakers-Warriors game

George Kittle, the star TE who had a wonderful season last time around, is confident about making it big this year as well. Hence, he is having all the fun he can in the offseason. Not long ago, Kittle was seen watching a Lakers vs Warriors game courtside where he was seen joining the Chase Center crowd in booing LeBron James in the semis Game 2.

During the game, the Lakers, including James, struggled and were trailing by 30 points at the end of the third quarter. James was also unlucky as he received some unfavorable calls, leading to some heated confrontations with the officials. In the end, the Warriors ended up dominating the LA Lakers. Hence, Kittle returned back home as a happy man.
