Woerner, who is viewed by Pro Football Focus as "one of the best and most devastating" run blockers in this draft class, caught 34 passes for 376 yards and a touchdown in four seasons with the Bulldogs.
Charlie Woerner only had 34 catches in college, but as George Kittle (48 catches) has shown, that can be largely irrelevant. It's about the film and Woerner does indeed have slot experience. But most importantly, he can block. That's what the 49ers want with Kittle already around

As a junior in 2018, was one of 14 football student-athletes named to the SEC Football Leadership Council and was one of three winners of the Special Teams Most Improved Player award.

Below is the NFL.com draft profile bio on Woerner:
Woerner (pronounced WER-ner) is the nephew of College Football Hall of Fame defensive back Scott Woerner, who helped the Bulldogs win a national title in 1980 with punt and interception returns for touchdowns against Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. Charlie did not have many big moments in his first three years between the hedges, scoring no touchdowns even though he played in 40 games. He got that elusive touchdown in 2019, catching nine passes for 78 yards in 14 starts. A top-10 tight end recruit nationally, he started twice as a true freshman (5-50-10.0), once as a sophomore (9-100-11.1), and twice as a junior (11-148-13.5).
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote the following about Woerner within his scouting report:
Hard-charging, pesky blocker whose lack of size and length make him a candidate for a move to fulltime fullback or H-back. Woerner simply doesn't have it in him to give the defender a half-speed rep and he's more than ready to collide into his target on iso-blocks or in space. He has the body control and radar to handle move blocking duties but lacks the physical traits teams seek. Woerner has some athleticism but was a relative non-factor as a pass-catcher and needs to stand out on special teams to bolster his chances.
