Story summary
Ahead of the Week 4 matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos, Seven-time Pro Bowl tight end George Kittle praised Talanoa Hufanga, a safety who recently joined the Broncos. Hufanga, originally drafted in the fifth round by the 49ers in 2021 before signing with Denver last year for $39 million, is known for his diligent preparation, often analyzing every game on his iPad to study player tendencies and routes. Kittle acknowledged that while Hufanga's anticipation can lead him to make correct interceptions occasionally, it also leaves room for mistakes. The 49ers hope to exploit any misjudgments by the former USC standout during their upcoming game at Levi’s Stadium.
