NFL star 'drop kicks rival' in shock moment during star-studded celebrity golf tournament

An NFL star stunned onlookers with what appeared to be a 'drop kick' which floored a WWE wrestler at a star-studded celebrity golf tournament.

George Kittle is a tight end for the San Francisco 49ers and has been on the roster since 2017 after being selected in the NFL draft of that year.

In that time, the 31-year-old Kittle has taken part in six Pro Bowl games, been named three times in the Second-team All-Pro side and twice made the First-team All-Pro.

Kittle has been part of the 49ers sides which have reached the Super Bowl on two occasions, but on both time lost out to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Recently, it has been the golf course rather than the American football field that Kittle has been in action, taking part in the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe.

The golf competition is a star-studded one attracting plenty of celebrities and consequently draws large crowds to watch the action.

On this occasion, Kittle was partnered with WWE star The Miz, who signed with the franchise in 2004 originally and has been on the main roster since 2006.

In that time, The Miz has experienced plenty of success after winning two WWE Championships, eight Intercontinental Championships, the United States Championship twice, as well as the Tag Team Championship on nine occasions.

However, the pair gave the crowd a moment to remember as Kittle seemed to channel his inner wrestler.

As the duo prepared to tee off on one of the holes, The Miz appeared to shove the 49ers star and feigned annoyance at him.

The WWE star turned to the crowd and raised his arms to rally support, but in the meantime, Kittle had dropped his golf club and put his hands on his knees as he prepared for The Miz to turn around.

And when the wrestler did just that, Kittle raised his right leg to 'drop kick' the WWE athlete, who fell on his back like he was in the ring, as you can see in the clip below.

The NFL star then went over him and patted him on the side before throwing The Miz's golf ball away and dancing in a celebratory fashion, which the crowd enjoyed.

Kittle is a self-confessed wrestling fan and has previously admitted he would enjoy the prospect of taking part in sports entertainment.

Speaking on the Bussin' With the Boys podcast, via the Daily Mail, he said: "I would love to do WWE. I think there's definitely opportunity within that world, and I would love nothing more than to be a part of it.

"My only question mark with that is I so much love being a fan of WWE. I would only do WWE if I bought a ring and practiced my ass off for a while so I wouldn't look like an idiot out there.

"I've been in a WWE ring like three times. I don't know what I'm doing out there. I have an understanding of how it works, but I haven't moonsaulted off the top rope at WrestleMania like Pat McAfee did. Like what Logan Paul does."
