Bay Area sports teams are seeing a lot of success. The San Jose Sharks went deep in the Stanley Cup playoffs before being eliminated by the St. Louis Blues. The Golden State Warriors find themselves, once again, in the NBA Finals awaiting the winner out of the East.
San Francisco 49ers fullback
Kyle Juszczyk made sure to attend some Sharks and Warriors games and was impressed with the fans in each arena. He was exposed to atmospheres he hopes can one day find their way to Levi's Stadium. Juszczyk knows, however, that the 49ers need to start winning for that to happen.
"We've had that exact conversation over and over,"
Juszczyk said Thursday on 95.7 The Game. "The energy at SAP (Center) and Oracle (Arena), every time I'm like, 'Let's bring this to Levi's (Stadium). This could be huge.' We really feel like if we give these fans a reason to cheer like these teams are, like the Warriors and the Sharks are, it's going to be an electric atmosphere."
And in case you were wondering, Juszczyk says he was not in the same SAP Center suite with the 49ers' offensive linemen when this happened.
Of course, no interview would be complete without an update on Jimmy Garoppolo. Much is riding on the health and success of the 49ers' franchise quarterback.
"Jimmy looks great," Juszczyk said. "You can't tell that he's coming off an injury. It seems like he moves the same, operating the same, the same Jimmy. He's out there slinging it, looking good."
You can listen to the entire conversation with Juszczyk below.

Brock Purdy hopes Kyle Shanahan makes addition to 49ers playbook
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy threw for a franchise-record 4,280 yards last season, leading the team to the Super Bowl and earning his first Pro Bowl selection. He held onto the football 39 times on the ground, rushing for 144 yards and scoring twice. This marked a significant improvement over his rookie 2022 campaign when he had 22 carries for 13 yards and a score.
Purdy further displayed his athleticism during the 49ers' playoff game against the Detroit Lions last season, helping engineer a comeback victory while rushing for 48 yards on five carries.
On Tuesday morning, Purdy joined the "Pat McAfee Show," acknowledging that he believes he can contribute more rushing yards if called upon. However, that decision rests with head coach Kyle Shanahan,
PFF mock draft has 49ers adding cornerback with 'unique fluidity and size'
Analyst Steve Palazzolo unveiled a first-round mock draft for Pro Football Focus, attempting to forecast the selections for each NFL team within the top 32 picks. While the San Francisco 49ers concentrated on strengthening the defensive line in free agency, Palazzolo envisions the team continuing to fortify that side of the ball.
In his mock draft, Palazzolo predicts that the 49ers will select former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"Tampa's unique fluidity and size for a cornerback make him worthy of a top-75 pick," reads the analysis from Pro Football Focus' big board. "If he can clean up his footwork, he can
Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy are why the 49ers can afford to pay Brandon Aiyuk
It's evident that the San Francisco 49ers engaged in long-term financial planning. Much discussion has centered around the feasibility of the team committing significant financial resources to two wide receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Some skeptics question the wisdom of such heavy investment in a single position, especially considering that the 49ers handed Samuel a substantial three-year extension merely two years ago.
Adding complexity to this debate is the impending contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy, positioning him to become the highest-paid player on the team. He will likely even become one of the NFL's highest-paid players. Where he ranks in average salary will depend upon whether he can replicate the stellar performance of his Pro Bowl 2023
