#49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk was tops in the final fan voting for the Pro Bowl at his position. He got 361,196 votes. #Jaguars FB Tommy Bohanon led the AFC with 139,297 votes. Juszczyk made the Pro Bowl last season while with the #Ravens.
A Pro Bowl selection would be Juszczyk's second. He made the NFL's annual all-star game last year as a member of the Baltimore Ravens.
While head coach Kyle Shanahan's offenses make use of a fullback, many other NFL offenses see the position as obsolete with just 12 teams still employing fullbacks.
The Pro Bowl will take place on January 28, 2018, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida during the weekend before the Super Bowl. Fan voting began at NFL.com on November 14 and ran through Thursday. During the final week of voting, fans were able to cast their votes via Twitter by tweeting the first and last name of the player, or the player's official Twitter handle, along with the hashtag #ProBowlVote.
Through 11 game appearances this season, Juszczyk has seven carries for 31 rushing yards and 22 catches for 204 receiving yards and a touchdown. He has already outperformed his rushing total from a season ago (31 yards versus 22). Although, the majority of his yards last year came during a single game – a Christmas Day matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Juszczyk is in his fifth NFL season. He signed a four-year, $21 million contract with the 49ers on March 9, which is the largest contract ever for a fullback.

Taylor Swift, the Kansas City Chiefs, and a Super Bowl overtime matchup. If the NFL is scripted, the league came up with a good one this past season—unless you're a San Francisco 49ers fan.
During his inaugural youth football camp at Levi's Stadium this past weekend, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy faced a candid inquiry from one young participant: Is the NFL scripted?
"No, the NFL is not scripted," a smiling Purdy responded. However, the quarterback added, "Good

49ers' Fred Warner addresses Armstead's departure, Greenlaw's recovery, Super Bowl window

The news of Arik Armstead's departure from the San Francisco 49ers after nine seasons with the team shocked linebacker Fred Warner. Armstead, a former first-round pick, was an impactful force on the football field. However, his availability over the last two seasons forced the 49ers to reevaluate his contract, and when his salary could not be significantly reduced, the two sides parted ways.
"Huge surprise," Warner said of learning that Armstead was being released. "Ever since I've been here, we called him the blueprint for how to be a Niner. That was the longest-tenured Niner that's been here and a guy that's done it right through and through."
Warner has been in the NFL long enough to understand how the league works. Over the years, he's watched several
