Kyle Juszczyk Aims to be Latest Fullback to Thrive Under Bobby Turner

To try and pigeonhole Kyle Juszczyk to one position would discredit his diverse skill set. The 6-foot-1, 240-pound fullback will be asked to lead-block, run the football and catch passes in Kyle Shanahan's offense.

The San Francisco 49ers made Juszczyk the league’s highest paid fullback this offseason – a position that didn’t even exist on the team’s roster last season.

Juszczyk has split his time between the tight ends and running backs throughout the offseason program. That means he's gotten plenty of work in with esteemed running backs coach Bobby Turner.

Shanahan brought Turner with him from the Atlanta Falcons this offseason.
