For the memories.
For the laughs.
For the advice.

This one might get you.
49ers tight end George Kittle posted a three minute video for retiring teammate Joe Staley, breaking into tears two minutes in when sharing memories he’s had with the 13-year vet.
“One of my favorite things,” a tearful Kittle began, “you always knew we to pick me up and you always knew the right thing to say. You always knew how to get me going on the football field and I’ll always thank you for that.
“So thank you Joe. You are the 49ers legend baby. We love you.”
Staley announced his retirement on Saturday in a lengthy message of his own, citing physical issues as the catalyst for deciding to end his decorated career.
Jesus George. Making me cry over here bro. https://t.co/68OXzrb5l3
