San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle has been making the most out of the NFL offseason. The Niners had a forgettable campaign, finishing with a 6-11 record and missing the playoffs for the first time in four years.

NFL Communications provided the following information. The NFL and USAA, an official NFL Salute to Service partner, announced Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Morgan Fox as finalists for the 14th annual Salute to Service Award presented by USAA.
