The center position is one of utmost importance for San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and his outside zone-blocking scheme.
So it makes sense the Niners made a move by trading for former Baltimore Ravens center, and 2016 Pro Bowler, Jeremy Zuttah this offseason.
Zuttah broke into the league as a third-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in 2008. He spent six seasons there alternating between center and guard duties before signing on with the Ravens between 2014 and 2016.
The 31-year-old veteran was the biggest addition to a San Francisco offensive line, which finished 30th in pass protection and dead last in run support a year ago, per Football Outsiders.
