Early predictions for which 49ers make the Pro Bowl in 2019
By Peter Panacy
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.
