Congratulations are in order for San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. He is headed to the 2019 Pro Bowl in Orlando later next week as a replacement for injured Philadelphia Eagles DT Fletcher Cox Buckner joins fullback Kyle Juszczyk and tight end George Kittle representing the 49ers.
Buckner had a breakout 2018 season, registering a career high 12 sacks. He had 67 tackles, three passes defensed, and one fumble recovery. He finished fourth in the NFC in sacks, and had the most single season sacks by a 49ers player since Aldon Smith had 19.
