Eddy Piñeiro Earns Claire Kittle's Favorite Player Status for Kicking Consistency

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Piñeiro has garnered an unexpected fan in Claire Kittle, wife of teammate George Kittle, who hilariously revealed Piñeiro is her "favorite player." George Kittle explained to NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco that Claire appreciates Piñeiro's consistency, stating, "I think she just likes that he makes kicks." Piñeiro, 30, was signed before Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season after Jake Moody was waived. Since joining the 49ers, he has been perfect, successfully converting all 19 of his field-goal attempts, including an impressive six kicks from beyond 50 yards, solidifying his reliable performance.
