Ahead of the much-anticipated rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs, here’s everything you need to know about Kyle Juszczyk...
What college did Kyle Juszczyk go to?
Juszczyk holds the rare distinction of attending an Ivy League school, Harvard University.
He played tight end for the Harvard Crimson for four years, establishing himself as one of the most talented fullbacks of his cohort. During four years at Harvard he recorded 22 touchdowns, catching 125 passes for 1,576 yards. He was a unanimous first-team pick for the All-Ivy League team.
Upon his graduation he was not invited to the NFL Combine, but completed all of the required workouts at Harvard’s Pro Day.
At 6ft2 and 235lbs Jusczyk is one of the most physically commanding fullbacks in the league.
What is Kyle Juszczyk’s salary?
When he was first drafted to the Baltimore Ravens in 2013 he was handed a four-year contract worth $2.46 million.
He entered free agency in 2017 and was seen as the top fullback on the market, drawing interest from the likes of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cleveland Browns. However, in March 2017, he signed a four-year $21 million contract with the 49ers, which was, at the time, the largest contract for a fullback in NFL history.
After proving his value in San Francisco he was signed on a five-year contract extension in March 2021. That deal is worth $27 million, including a $4 million signing bonus. His current contract runs through to the end of the 2025 season and he is set to hit free agency in 2026.
“I’ve never been shy to try things,” Juszczyk told ESPN recently. “I’ve always been confident ... I really feel like there’s nothing I can’t do out there. I like to give it a shot, and if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter.”
