Fullback Kyle Juszczyk

Kyle Juszczyk gets in by default.

Why? Well, there simply aren’t too many high-caliber fullbacks making the big exhibition.

Juszczyk’s 33 receptions for 315 yards and a touchdown last year wouldn’t normally warrant Pro Bowl consideration at a similar position, tight end, but rare are the fullbacks who can contribute to this game in such a manner.

No other traditional fullback came anywhere close to those numbers last year.

Juszczyk was the only fullback nominated to the NFC’s roster last year. And unless we see some wide-sweeping changes within the conference through the regular season, don’t expect anything to change.

He’s as big a shoo-in as it gets for San Francisco.
