It seems the Super Bowl Opening Night on Monday was just meant for George Kittle and his hilarious responses. Thousands of media reporters came together in Las Vegas to interview the key members of the Super Bowl finalists. That’s when Kittle presented a hilarious comparison involving his teammate Nick Bosa.

Kittle has built a reputation for his amusing comparisons. Just a few weeks back, he compared his quarterback to a “water dragon.” Adding to his collection of comparisons, the San Francisco 49ers tight end shared an incident about attempting to block Bosa, in a training camp, drawing parallels between himself and the defensive lineman while offering praise to both. Now, in a familiar style, he finds himself once again drawing a comparison, this time highlighting Bosa’s impressive quadriceps.

What did George Kittle say about Nick Bosa’s quads?

On Monday, at the media night in Allegiant Stadium, George Kittle expressed that his team has a lot of fun together. The tight end also mentioned having the best players in the team, especially in the offensive end, and named Nick Bosa. Praising Bosa, Kittle said, “Nick Bosa’s quads are bigger than my torso. We’ve got superheroes on this team, and so it is a really fun thing.

Notably, Bosa stands 6 feet 4 inches tall, and weighs over 260 pounds. In 2021, he informed that his intense leg workouts include exercises like front squats, step-ups for his legs, and Romanian deadlifts. The 26-year-old attributed his naturally big legs to genetics, and not a specific effort to increase its size.

He earlier said about his former NFL player dad, John Bosa that “My dad’s quads are huge.” However, he is not obsessive about his legs’ size, he is just mindful of maintaining his playing weight.

George Kittle thinks he and Nick Bosa are equal in competition?

George Kittle has strong belief in his abilities, as evident from a recent locker room conversation. When asked about Packers’ rookie tight ends Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave, Kittle shared his excitement for watching other tight ends try to block Nick Bosa, emphasizing the challenge. When questioned if he had ever tried to block Bosa himself, Kittle modestly admitted to facing him in training camp.

He acknowledged Bosa’s skills but also asserted his own proficiency, saying, “He’s really good, but I’m also really good at what I do.” Kittle then shared a lighthearted anecdote from 2019 when he successfully countered Bosa’s move and playfully teased him about it. Despite the banter, Kittle expressed deep admiration for Bosa.

Kittle sees facing the defensive lineman as a valuable challenge and privilege, stating that if he can handle Bosa, he gains confidence to block anyone else.
