Fan favorite and five time Pro Bowler Kyle Juszczyk is going to continue playing in the Bay Area. Yesterday, he inked a 5 year, 27 million dollar deal.
Juszczyk played his college ball at Harvard as a tight end where he caught 125 passes for 1,576 yards, and 22 touchdowns. He was drafted in the fourth round by the Baltimore Ravens in 2013.
As a Raven, he caught 97 passes and 5 touchdowns so when he hit free agency, many teams wanted to get after him. After almost signing with the Bills, he flipped and signed a 4 year, 21 million dollar deal with the 49ers.
Since then, he has been a very important part of the 49ers offensive success. He is a tremendous run blocker and a great pass catcher with sneaky speed. Juszczyk is also great on special teams which makes him a bigger weapon.
