Fooch’s update: Or the 49ers could just try and sign Patrick DiMarco, who is a free agent. Missed that one.
The San Francisco 49ers made extensive use of the fullback throughout the four years of Jim Harbaugh and the first year of Jim Tomsula. However, Chip Kelly was not quite as big a fan of the position, and once the team released Bruce Miller, we really did not see much out of it. Could that change under Kyle Shanahan?
I bring this up because the Carolina Panthers have released veteran fullback Mike Tolbert.
