    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.

    49ers star George Kittle weighs in on Brandon Aiyuk contract talk: 'I don't know how we don't keep Brandon'

    The biggest story coming out of the San Francisco 49ers' camp during draft week is not about what they are going to do with the No. 31 overall pick, but rather what happens with star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.

"I wouldn't anticipate that," GM John Lynch said Monday. Lynch did not put a definitive "no" on the table, and considering Aiyuk has hinted at his displeasure with the team, including unfollowing them on social media, the rumors will keep Aiyuk's Niners future in limbo until something is done.

To the Utes coaches, it felt like every time Huskies corners coaches Jimmy Lake or Keith Heyward got in front of a recruit, they'd steal a commitment. “We battled for kid, after kid, after kid,” Utah cornerbacks coach Sharrieff Shah said. Then, Shah had a breakthrough.
