How do you top the greatest season by a tight end in NFL history? It's easy: go learn from perhaps the greatest to ever play the position.
That's exactly what George Kittle will do this offseason.
Kittle, along with 49ers assistant head coach/tight ends coach Jon Embree, is set to meet up with Tony Gonzalez in either February or March.

"Anything I can pick up from a Hall of Fame tight end," Kittle said Wednesday on 95.7 The Game. "His film speaks for itself. Any piece of advice I can take from him -- whether that's better ways to catch the ball, tips on routes, tips on reading safeties."

In just his second pro season, Kittle set the NFL record for most receiving yards by a tight end in a single season with 1,377. Gonzalez has the most career receiving yards at the position in NFL history with 15,127.
Embree has a helping hand in both records, as he also coached Gonzalez for four years in Kansas City.

“Tony knows how I work and things I want done, so Tony is going to work with him on some of those things and teach him some of the little tricks and nuances that he’s done over his career,” Embree said.
One thing is abundantly clear: Kittle will be all ears, open to any advice.
"Whatever he says, I'm gonna absorb it like a sponge and hopefully take it with me into OTAs," Kittle said.
