"The 49ers had six players named to the Pro Bowl roster announced early Tuesday morning, including multi-time honorees fullback Kyle Juszczyk, tight end George Kittle, running back Christian McCaffrey, long snapper Jon Weeks and left tackle Trent Williams. Linebacker Luke Gifford was named to the roster as a special teamer, and receiver Skyy Moore will be an alternate for his punt and kick returning prowess."
"Kittle's honor is the seventh of his career, making the Pro Bowl each year since 2021. He has 52 catches for 599 yards and seven touchdowns this season including five scores over his last six games. He topped 100 yards in a game for the first time this season on Monday night, making seven catches for 115 yards and a touchdown."
"McCaffrey, 29, needs 151 receiving yards over the 49ers' last two games to notch a 1,000-1,000 season, a feat only he (2019), 49ers legend Roger Craig (1985) and Rams star Marshall Faulk (1999) have ever reached. The 2023 Offensive Player of the Year is a Pro Bowler for the fourth time in his career as he carried an injury-weakened 49ers offense early in the season."
Six San Francisco 49ers earned Pro Bowl recognition: fullback Kyle Juszczyk, tight end George Kittle, running back Christian McCaffrey, long snapper Jon Weeks, left tackle Trent Williams and special-teamer Luke Gifford, with Skyy Moore named as a return specialist alternate. Kittle recorded 52 catches for 599 yards and seven touchdowns, including a 115-yard, one-touchdown game after returning from a hamstring injury that cost him five games. McCaffrey can reach a rare 1,000-1,000 receiving-rushing season with 151 receiving yards over two games. Juszczyk made his 10th straight Pro Bowl and Williams earned a 12th selection despite early ankle issues.
