Share

The 49ers reportedly made a move Thursday. No, not that one.

The 49ers picked up fullback Kyle Juszczyk's option, NFL Media's Tom Pelissero reported Thursday. Juszczyk now will be with the 49ers through the 2025 season.

Juszczyk has made six straight Pro Bowls and is a key piece of the 49ers' run-heavy offense.

He started 17 games for the 49ers last season, finishing with 30 catches for 296 yards and two touchdowns. His versatility allows the 49ers to use bigger packages and attack base defenses while using Juszczyk as a pass-catching threat against slower linebackers.
