Possible juice replacement

Gotta give Josh Hokit a look. We already have him, and he played a similar style to Juice while at Fresno State. Was a lead back at times, and a pretty good receiver. Former wrestling champ and very good on defense...all around tough guy.

This!
I think Steelers likely to part ways with Jaylen Samuels, he had like 10 total touches in 2020. Not the blocker Juice is but excellent receiver. 6' 230lb. He'd come cheap.
Looked on Pro Football Networks latest Tony Pauline big board and there are only four FB's listed out of the 1000 plus total prospects:

Giovanni Fauolo UNLV
Ben Mason Michigan
Tory Carter LSU
Mason Stokke Wisconsin

All are listed as FA. This is what is known as "slim pickings."

There aren't enough FB's in college football to even have a single draft site list them as a separate position Niners going to have to look long and hard to find someone that will be able to replace Juice. Woerner and Hokit are already on the roster and have a year under their belts in the system. They have the best chance to replace Juice if he signs elsewhere.

Hokit is a possibility but once again, what team has a 6'5" fullback? We saw Dwelley get wrecked trying to play the position, at some point you're just too tall to consistently hold up there.

Patrick Ricard is 6'3' and 311 lbs. Does 2" make that much difference? (Sounds like I'm calling into a relationship talk show).
Every inch counts.

Look for blocking tight ends who are too short to play in the NFL

Ideal Role: Starting tight end that is used in a variety of alignments as a receiver and blocker that receives targets at all levels of the field.

Scheme Fit: F tight end.

Maybe more of a Walker than a Juice?

Looks like this guy is getting some pub.
I am intrigued by both Jordan and Tremble.

Noah Gray from Duke is another player who lined up in the backfield a lot. Pretty solid receiver and willing blocker. Could be had in the 6th round maybe. That's who I'm looking at outside of Tremble and Jordan
I suggest a good protein shake instead of juice.
