The 49ers knew they weren’t getting a receiving threat with tight end Charlie Woerner in 2020, but can his development in 2021 make a difference?
Late in the 2020 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers decided to replace one of their free-agent departures, veteran tight end Levine Toilolo, with another blocking-specialist tight end, Charlie Woerner out of Georgia.
Selected in Round 6 and at No. 190 overall, Woerner honed his NFL pedigree in run blocking, emerging as one of college football’s better blocking tight ends.
