The San Francisco 49ers had a noteworthy achievement in 2024 despite a lackluster season, with three players named to the AP All-Pro teams. Fred Warner earned first-team honors, demonstrating his exceptional performance even while playing through a fractured ankle. George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk secured spots on the second team, with Juszczyk’s selection expected due to his rare position as a fullback in the NFL.
Kittle, although recognized on the All-Pro team, was viewed by some as deserving of first-team status, feeling he was overlooked in favor of rookie Brock Bowers from the Las Vegas Raiders. Bowers had a standout season statistically, setting rookie records in multiple categories for a tight end. However, Kittle excelled in various metrics like yards per reception, yards after catch per reception, and was highly effective as a blocker—an area where Bowers lags.
Despite their modest win total, the 49ers can take pride in having three players named All-Pro for 2024, underscoring their individual excellence amid team challenges.
