Before celebrating George Kittle's earning this award, Claire Kittle gave her flowers to Kyle Juszczyk's wife Kristin for enjoying big success with her NFL-inspired clothing line:

"I have to give Kris her flowers for a second. She has worked tirelessly to get this brand into the hands of NFL fans everywhere. Literal blood, sweat, and tears; it has been so awe-inspiring to witness her successfully accomplish this. ... She has done something that has never been done before: NFL-licensed puffer vests and coats that hold the same magic as wearing your favorite player’s jersey."

Claire added that she felt proud of Kristin and everything she's done with her brand. They are close friends and have big reasons to root for the 49ers. Despite not having the best 2024 NFL season, the NFC West team remains a strong squad.
