NFL star George Kittle shares 'biggest concern' with controversial hip-drop tackle rule

The NFL will be enforcing a new rule next season to improve player safety, banning the "hip-drop tackle." San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, a hard man to take down on the field, shared his own thoughts regarding the rule, which will result in a 15-yard penalty when enforced. As an offensive player, it will benefit him when it's called, but he does have a big concern. "When you watch football, that tackle injures people, I just don't think, very often," he told Fox News Digital.
