| What Iowa Hawkeyes Play For The San Francisco 49ers |
The Not-So-Mysterious Case of the Scarlet and Gold in the Bay Area
While the San Francisco 49ers might be rocking that red and gold (come on, color coordination is important!), there's actually only one Hawkeye currently wreaking havoc on the field.
Drumroll please... It's the one, the only, George Kittle! This phenomenal tight end, drafted by the 49ers in 2017, has become a fan favorite with his incredible athleticism and infectious energy.
Fun Fact: Kittle is known for his epic touchdown celebrations, and they're almost as entertaining as his catches!
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
Hawkeye History in the Bay: A Flock (or Maybe Just One) Remembers
While Kittle currently holds the fort for the Hawkeyes in San Francisco, there have been others who donned the 49er scarlet. Quarterback C.J. Beathard spent a short stint with the Niners after being drafted in 2017, but eventually landed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
So, why the lack of Hawkeye representation? Well, the NFL is a big pond, and sometimes talented Hawkeyes get snapped up by other teams. But fear not, Iowa has a strong pipeline to the pros, and you never know when another Hawkeye might join Kittle in the Bay Area!
