Erin Andrews, a respected NFL sideline reporter, has long connected with players on a personal level, and her recent interaction with George Kittle was no exception.
Following the San Francisco 49ers’ 23-20 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kittle—known as much for his standout performances as for his infectious personality—grabbed fans’ attention both on and off the field. His contributions included three catches for 57 receiving yards and a touchdown, a key factor in pushing the 49ers to a 5-4 record while the Buccaneers dropped to 4-5.
On Monday, Andrews shared a lighthearted shoutout on her Instagram, posting a snapshot with Kittle as they looked toward the stands—likely at Kittle’s wife, Claire who was in attendance.
She captioned the image, “Hi @claireKittle!! @GKittle”, which highlighted the close connection between Andrews and the Kittle family.

By bringing Claire into the spotlight, Andrews showed her unique approach to sideline reporting—one that seamlessly blends the intensity of the game with genuine, family-centered moments.
