Report: FB Kyle Juszczyk plans to sign 4-year deal with 49ers
According to Adam Schefter of
ESPN, Baltimore Ravens FB
Kyle Juszczyk plans to sign with the San Francisco 49ers. Ian Rapoport of
NFL Media reports that
the deal will be for four years and worth $21 million.
The 49ers didn't have a fullback on the roster last season. Bruce Miller was the team's fullback the previous season and was trying to convert to a tight end in Chip Kelly's offense, but legal problems led the 49ers to release Miller a week prior to the start of the regular season.
Juszczyk, who turns 26 in April, was a fourth-round selection out of Harvard by Baltimore in the 2013 NFL Draft. He was selected to the Pro Bowl last season and was a 2016 First-Team All-Pro. Juszczyk has been a capable receiver as well. He has 97 catches for 769 yards and five touchdowns since 2014.
