On the field, George Kittle is having a slightly slower to the season than he -- and probably many fans -- expected from him. He has 17 catches for 165 yards, though no touchdowns, through three games so far. That said, he's still managing to lead the 49ers in receptions and receiving yards and the Niners are 3-0, so neither he nor they are probably too concerned about things.
And off the field, Kittle is certainly having a lot of fun. His Rock-inspired locker room comments after their win over the Steelers on Sunday went viral:

He got a seal of approval from The Rock himself, too:
