The NFL offseason is the period when all the stars spend time with their families. But it is also the time to keep the fans engaged. The Kittle family knows how to do both of those things together. San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle went incognito in the middle of a date. His wife Claire took the opportunity to engage the fans and test their detective skills to find her ‘missing’ husband.
Despite the heartbreak of the previous NFL season, where the Niners fell short of their goals, there’s plenty of anticipation for the 2023 season. But before that, Claire needs some help to find where her husband has gone right in the middle of a romantic date.

Goerge Kittle has gone missing, and his wife Claire wants the fans to help her find his whereabouts. The Niners TE had taken her out on a romantic date with wine and all that but looks like he forgot something. Maybe it was his wallet or a gift he bought for his wife. Who knows?
“Can you find George?” Claire posed the question through an Instagram story.
The story had a photo that revealed a perfect setting for a date. A glass of wine, a setting sun and perfect chairs for relaxing. The only problem? Kittle was nowhere to be seen. Or was he? Could it be that the couple was playing a game with their fans, like a modern-day version of Finding Waldo (the NFL edition)? Perhaps the photo was a clue, a tantalizing tease that left fans guessing and speculating about Kittle’s whereabouts.
Kittle is preparing for the next season with full intensity. But he will have to do it without many of his teammates. And the tight end made his feelings about parting with his friends known to the world.
An emotional message
Every offseason, many players change teams to push their careers forward. Sometimes, teams aren’t able to re-sign some stars due to various issues. While that is a part of the NFL business, parting with friends is never easy. The Niners star George Kittle has been in the business long enough to know that.

Kittle shared a touching message for all his former teammates who hit free agency last month. It was a perfect way to say goodbye to his friends who have been through all the highs and lows together.
“Congrats to the fellas in free agency, going out and getting a contract is a big deal. And while I am happy for them and their families, I am also sad to be losing some of my closest friends for the last 5 years,” the TE wrote in an Instagram post last month.
