Being an NFL star has to be rough. Their bodies get beat up every game and experience huge collisions multiple times. NFL schedules have bye weeks that allow players to recover and relax.

I'm sure if you were to ask Wyoming NFLers Logan Wilson and Teven Bryan, or former UW QB Josh Allen they would agree.

By the time those weeks arrive, you can bet they're ready, and some will take a short vacation to get the relaxation they need.

When the San Franciso 49ers had a bye week this season, two superstars came to Wyoming to take a break from football.

At least, that was the idea.

QB Brock Purdy and TE George Kittle still had football on their minds and wanted to stay fresh and ready for their next game.

They didn't tell each other beforehand but brought a football to toss around and improve their timing and skills.

More proof that the two were here in Wyoming is on the YouTube channel 49ers Miners, which is a 49ers fan-based channel. In a video from the beginning of November, some fans highlight Purdy's videos and pictures of his trip to Wyoming.

Purdy and Kittle have a common bond: Besides playing for the 49ers, they played college football in Iowa. Not for the same school, but both in the same state.

Purdy played QB for the Iowa State Cyclones, and Kittle was a standout TE for the Iowa Hawkeyes.
