If you sat down to watch any NFL football in Week 8, chances are you heard once or twice that it was National Tight Ends Day, a fun day created by some of the league's tight ends to honor and celebrate the gridiron's do-it-all position.
Kittle willed himself to a huge performance in celebration of the holiday. On Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys, Kittle caught six passes for 128 yards and scored a touchdown. Along the way, he caught his 500th career reception, putting him 18th on the all-time list for tight ends above a handful sitting at 498 and 499.
