Kittle hits 19.84 mph on 56-yard TD catch, nine months post-Achilles surgery.
Kittle caught a 56-yard screen pass in the fourth quarter that sealed the 49ers' 4-0 victory over Denver. He reached 19.84 mph per Next Gen Stats on the play, matching Xavier Worthy's 41-yard TD speed—remarkable for a player less than nine months removed from Achilles surgery. The source notes it 'doesn't make sense for a player fresh off an Achilles injury to hit these kinda speeds so soon' and calls him 'a freak,' indicating exceptional recovery and explosive capability.
