Every time I got a rep next to him in the last couple years when he got to sub in for someone that was hurt, I thought he did an excellent job. "I know he’s going to play at a high level. I mean, I think he’s going to play at a high level," Kittle said of how he thinks McKivitz will do against Watt. "He’s a starter for the San Francisco 49ers. San Francisco expressed its confidence in McKivitz as the starting right tackle when they declined to draft any offensive linemen in April, and his teammate George Kittle echoed that faith Thursday. McKivitz bounced between the 49ers' practice squad and 53-man roster over the years after he was drafted in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, but he proved his worth and inked a two-year, $4.6 million contract this offseason following McGlinchey's free-agency departure.

Foerster recalled Williams' first NFL game with Washington back in 2010, where the then-22-year-old had to square off against a future Hall of Famer in Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware. It's something every NFL player goes through at some point - even those who eventually go on to reach the pinnacle of their game, like All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams.
