San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk stepped up to the podium following Saturday's 20-12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals and immediately boasted about his quarterback sneak in the game. Rightfully so, because it was an impressive play to behold.
Of course, Juszczyk had already informed reporters that he could play a little quarterback if asked to do so. He was correct, apparently.
"I know you all didn't believe me when I said I could play quarterback, but it's OK," Juszczyk quipped before anyone had a chance to ask a question.
Juszczyk finished the game with two touchdowns, but since he started the virtual press conference talking about taking the snap from the center, the questions started with that trick play.
"Let's get right to it, man," a laughing Juszczyk said. "That was a fun play to run. We saw the Cowboys do it last week with Blake Bell and was stoked when we came in on install, and we had it up for myself. And I knew that was something I could handle.
"Like I told you guys, I played some quarterback back in my day, in middle school and high school, so taking snaps was a natural thing, and I was stoked to get that opportunity."
Juszczyk, an important part of the 49ers' rushing attack, has really shown off his versatility this season. The fullback is in the last season of the four-year contract he signed in 2017 and, like so many teammates, is scheduled to become a free agent in March.
