San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk appeared on Good Morning Football on Friday to defend quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and coach Kyle Shanahan against criticism they've received since the team's Super Bowl LIV loss.

"Honestly that's been one of the most frustrating parts of the whole loss, is seeing the criticism of Kyle and of Jimmy," Juszczyk said. "Those are two guys that have absolutely nothing to prove to the rest of the guys in the locker room.

"You look at Jimmy, for people that are stats guys, 4,000 yards passing, better than a 2-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio, 70 percent completion, you just look at that, that's a phenomenal quarterback," Juszczyk added.
