It was easy to see right away where Woerner would fit with San Francisco. He was a mauler in the run game at Georgia, and the loss of Levine Toilolo in free agency opened a roster spot for a player with Woerner’s exact skill set. He’s not just an in-line blocker though. He can line up and be effective all over the field, which gives Shanahan another chess piece to work with to create mismatches in the run game. Woerner may not play a ton of snaps, but he should be very good at the job assigned to him.
