"Be a dad," Kittle told Mathai with no hesitation. "That's it. I'm so excited."
Kittle then shared with Mathai how his dad, Bruce Kittle, is his best friend. The younger Kittle also believes that his father "passed on" many great characteristics that will serve him well as a parent.
"He showed me how to be a really good person, how to be a really good dad," Kittle continued. "I would give him the 'World's Best Dad' mug, and so if I could be half the dad that he was to me, then I think I'll be a pretty good dad."
For the Kittles, football runs in the family. Bruce Kittle played at Iowa and was the co-captain of the Big Ten Champion team of 1981, as well as an assistant football coach at Oklahoma and Iowa. George followed in his dad's footsteps by starring at Iowa from 2013 through 2016.
