49ers' Kittle discusses impact of Myles Garrett's trade to Rams
Summary

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle commented on the Los Angeles Rams' recent trade for Myles Garrett during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show. Kittle acknowledged that Garrett will draw significant attention from opposing defenses, similar to the game plans developed around former Rams player Aaron Donald. Kittle expressed enthusiasm for the challenge of competing against Garrett, who recently won his second Defensive Player of the Year award. The trade situates Garrett alongside Byron Young, who had 12 sacks in 2025, potentially enhancing the Rams' pass-rush capabilities even further. Should Aaron Donald return from retirement, Kittle believes that the combination of Garrett and Donald would create a formidable challenge for NFL offenses.
