49ers TE and Iowa alum George Kittle donned an Iowa State helmet after losing a wager on Saturday's rivalry game to QB Brock Purdy, an Iowa State alum.
George Kittle, Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers took care of business in Week 1, getting a win at home over the New York Jets. But Kittle still took a big loss last weekend when his alma mater Iowa dropped its Week 2 game to in-state rival Iowa State, Purdy's alma mater, in a 20-19 Cyclones comeback Saturday — and the star tight end paid the price.
Kittle, who averaged five receiving touchdowns per season over his last two years at Iowa , and Purdy, Iowa State's all-time passing leader, each played four seasons at their respective schools and were Day 3 draft picks. Of course, Kittle has gone on to be a two-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler, while Purdy — who was the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft — was a Pro Bowler in his first full season under center for the 49ers , during which he led the NFL in passer rating .
