Kyle Juszczyk is one of the best players in the league and is somehow underrated. The San Francisco 49ers’ fullback continues to step up and make the team an even bigger problem whenever they are on the schedule. While the NFC West is loaded with the reigning Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams, continuing to improve with star talent, there are not many people discussing the San Francisco 49ers. Let’s take a deeper dive into what Kyle Juszczyk had to say about the non-existent eyes on the team.

Kyle Juszczyk made his feelings known about the San Francisco 49ers being underappreciated. When joining The Insiders on Friday, the two-time All-Pro discussed how he likes where the team is at.
“We feel great about where our team is at. The fact that we won 13 games last season with all that we had to deal with, I think that’s easy to forget. And rightfully so. The Seahawks won a Super Bowl, the Rams had a great season, they had some great additions in the offseason, so I can understand why that is the case.
“But I think we feel great about where we’re at. I love our squad. I think that we have only improved. Guys are getting healthy. We added Mike Evans and Osa (Odighizuwa) on defense, which I think both of those guys are going to make such an impact. I think we’re sitting in a good spot. If people want to forget about us, that’s fantastic. That’s a good place to be sometimes.”
Kyle Juszczyk has been a star for a while, but is recently getting his flowers. Last season, he finished with 24 receptions on 28 targets for 213 yards (8.9 yards per catch) with a pair of receiving touchdowns. This would get him into the Pro Bowl for a 10th consecutive season and named to the first team All-Pro for a second time in three years.
The 49ers significantly improved their offense with the addition of Mike Evans. With tight end George Kittle hoping to be ready for Week 1 after tearing his Achilles in the postseason, they are ready to roll. While this is more of a veteran team, they have the ability to easily make the postseason once again and surprise a lot of people. It will be intriguing to see how Kyle Juszczyk and the San Francisco 49ers look this season in such a stacked division.
