New York Jets free agent profile: San Francisco 49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk

Positives

Connection/scheme fit

The primary reason that Kyle Juszczyk (pronounced “use-check”) has been linked to the New York Jets is, of course, his connection to the coaching staff. He joined the San Francisco 49ers in 2017, the same year that Robert Saleh and Mike LaFleur moved into the Bay Area, sharing each of the past four seasons with the Jets’ new head coach and offensive coordinator.

There are not many teams left in the NFL that still utilize a fullback regularly, but among the ones that do, none made use of the position more than LaFleur and Kyle Shanahan’s 49ers over the past four years.
