One of John Lynch’s first personnel moves in San Francisco, with strong input from Kyle Shanahan, was signing football’s greatest current fullback, free agent Kyle Juszczyk. (I’m just going to keep saying Juszczyk as many times as possible, because I know how to spell it. Juszczyk. Juszczyk. Juszczyk. I don’t even have to look it up. Who are we talking about, again? Oh yeah, Juszczyk. Just remember Z-C-Z and the rest falls into place.)
There’s no doubt that Juszczyk is the best fullback in football, but the move was controversial because of his rich contract — over $5 million a year over four years.
