NEW ORLEANS — San Francisco 49ers two-time All-Pro tight end George Kittle is the USAA 2024 Salute to Service award winner. Kittle beat out Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones and Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Morgan Fox for the award. The award recognizes the "exceptional efforts by members of the NFL family to honor and support the military community." Kittle will be recognized at NFL Honors on Thursday night. Kittle hosts military and frontline heroes at every 49ers game, donating over 400 tickets in the last six years. Kittle and his family amplify community stories, nearly 60 of those involving veterans, through the Founding Hidden Pearls Podcast founded in 2020.
