Travis Kelce - English
In a league where tight ends are often masured by raw yardage and touchdown totals, San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle is standing out with an efficiency metric that puts him in a class of his own. Even comparing him in that category to Travis Kelce, his fiercest opponent for the position in the past years, Kittle is much more prolific than the Kansas City tight end.
JJ Watt completes the 9/9/9 challenge in just 4.5 innings. Is he cheating?
Kittle leads NFL in yards per target
George Kittle curremtly leads the entire NFL with an impressive 11.6 yards per target, making him the only tight end to average over 10 yards per target since 2023. This stat underscores how Kittle doesn’t just catch passes, he turns every opportunity into meaningful yardage, often stretching the field well beyond expectation.
Despite finishing the 2024 season with 78 receptions for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns across 15 games, it’s the efficiency, yards per target, that sets Kittle apart. He wasn’t just productive, he was among the most effective downfield threats in the league.
Media and analytics outlets reinforce this view. Pro Football Focus (PFF) ranked him at the top of the tight end position in overall offensive performance, with his 92.1 receiving grade marking the second-best among all skill-position players in 2024.
Kittle’s value in yards per target
Yards per target (YPT) measures how many yards a player gains for each pass thrown their way, regardless of volume. In Kittle’s case, the high YPT means when quarterback Brock Purdy targets him, those throws result in big gains more often than not, reflecting explosive playmaking ability and sound route execution.
Matching elite production with elite efficiency, Kittle has carved out a role as both a safety net and a deep-option threat. He earned his sixth Pro Bowl nod in 20224, tied to his ability to impact both short frames and long-yardage plays. Furthermore, Kittle’s versatility extends into blocking and team leadership. That athleticism has helped him sign a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension, making him the highest paid tight end in NFL history, with $40 million guaranteed through 2029.

Před dvěma lety ho zatkla policie, teď dostává v NHL druhou šanci
Kdysi patřil k nejobávanějším silovým útočníkům v NHL. Ty roky už dávno pominuly, přesto má Lucic kariéru lemovanou úspěchy. Vyhrál Stanley Cup, juniorskou WHL i světový šampionát. Jenže v posledních dvou letech sešel z očí veřejnosti.Předloňskou sezonu se vrátil do Bostonu, ale odehrál jen čtyři zápasy. V polovině listopadu jej totiž zadržela policie s podezřením, že se dopustil násilí na své partnerce. Podle policejní zprávy byl obviněn z pokusu o uškrcení své manželky.Hokej pro něj v tu chvíli skončil. V únoru loňského roku bylo sice obvinění staženo, ale Lucic nastoupil do asistenčního programu NHL a v lize se od té doby neobjevil. Teď však dostává novou šanci, kterou mu dají v St. Louis. „Podepsali jsme s Milanem profesionální zkušební kontrakt,“ uvedl generální manažer Doug Armstrong na oficiálním webu klubu.Lucic v NHL strávil celkem sedmnáct sezon, většinu z nich v Bostonu.
