George Kittle was a stud at Iowa. Since entering the NFL in 2017, though, he has become even more dominant.

A year ago, Kittle set the all-time single season NFL record for receiving yards by a tight end. He’s been that good this quickly. He also has a personality people just gravitate toward. He’s a likeable person.

Well, likeable unless you’re a Nebraska fan. Or, live in the state of Nebraska. You get the point.

The Hawkeyes take on the Huskers to close out the regular season on Friday (yes, Friday). On Sunday night, Kittle joined Scott Van Pelt on SportsCenter after his San Francisco 49ers crushed the Green Bay Packers.

Here’s Kittle talking about the Hawkeye-Husker game:

Wow. Hey, Husker fans, if you didn’t like Kittle before, there’s no chance that you like him now. He talked about not only how Iowa was going to go to Nebraska and win. No, not just that.

He talked about how Iowa could take over the state of Nebraska. To that, Kittle said, “Honestly, I don’t even want the state of Nebraska.”

Yeah, we can’t wait for this game to take place at 2:30 p.m. ET on Friday, Nov. 29.
