Kyle Juszczyk has long had a case as the best fullback in the NFL. As a versatile weapon who can block, run, or catch passes, the player nicknamed “Juice” is a perfect fit in a Kyle Shanahan offense. Juszczyk's do-it-all style of play has made him a fan favorite for the San Francisco 49ers, too.

Typically, the fullback position goes somewhat under the radar. Juszczyk has been in the news in a big way over the week, though. After scoring a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins, Juice took part in a celebratory juice chug, something he has done after scores in the past. However, the NFL took it to be an alcoholic beverage chug, so the fullback was hit with a fine for over $14,ooo.

Juszczyk has made it clear that the NFL got the wrong idea, and he's since appealed the fine. The ironic part is that Juszczyk rarely drinks beer anyways. When he has partied it up in the past, though, there has been a common denominator. That being that he tends to share drinks with George Kittle and Travis Kelce.

“I don't even really drink beer,” Juszczyk said. “I drink maybe five times a year in the offseason, but I started thinking about it and there are two common denominators of when I do drink alcohol. One of them I was at Bandon Dunes with Travis and George. I was at Tight End U with Travis and George. And I was at Travis' wedding with Travis and George.”

The two tight ends are among the best players ever at their respective positions. They also, clearly, know how to have a good time, and they just might be bad influences on the fullback who was fined. Kittle has even coined Juszczyk with the nickname “Beer.”
