One of the NFL’s preeminent fullbacks, the San Francisco 49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk<\/a>‘s been rubbing shoulder pads with tight ends quite a bit lately.<\/p>\n

So, is he a fullback or a tight end?<\/p>\n

Well, as Juszczyk explained, his paycheck certainly says he’s a fullback.<\/p>\n

“Am I a tight end? Am I not a tight end? I don’t know. That’s a great question,” Juszczyk said recently from the 2026 American Century Championship golf event in an interview with NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco<\/a>. “Unfortunately, I think I’m a tight end and not a tight end at all the wrong times. I’m a fullback when it comes to contract negotiations, which hurts, but then I’m a tight end on game day.”<\/p>\n

At least this offseason, Juszczyk has been living the tight end highlife. The 10-time Pro Bowler \u2013 as a fullback — landed an invitation to the annual Tight End University, run by teammate George Kittle<\/a>, Kansas City Chiefs all-time great Travis Kelce<\/a> and Greg Olsen, a color analyst who was a 14-year NFL vet with three Pro Bowl selections.<\/p>\n

More impressive than that, Juszczyk and wife Kristin scored an invitation to the social event of the year \u2013 Kelce and Taylor Swift’s wedding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Juszczyk’s wife, a designer, memorably made a puffer jacket for Swift<\/a> fashioned like a Kelce jersey.<\/p>\n

The two-time All-Pro admitted he signed a non-disclosure agreement related to the Swift-Kelce ceremony. He was able to give a rave review of the evening, though.<\/p>\n

“I can just say that it truly was such an incredible time,” the 13-year NFL veteran said. “It was so much fun. It was so much genuine love and just fun and passion there, that we just had the best time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the NFL’s preeminent fullbacks, the San Francisco 49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk‘s been rubbing shoulder pads with tight…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":759368,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[6255,10031,79564,3,349,6257,215714,560,99,4144],"class_list":["post-759367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-around-the-nfl","tag-george-kittle","tag-kyle-juszczyk","tag-news","tag-nfl","tag-no-minute","tag-offseason-news","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-sports","tag-travis-kelce"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=759367"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759367\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/759368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=759367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=759367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=759367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
