Only 3 49ers named to Associated Press 2024 NFL All-Pro team

A trio of 49ers were honored for their respective campaigns as part of the Associated Press 2024 NFL All-Pro team.

49ers linebacker Fred Warner, tight end George Kittle and fullback Kyle Juszczyk were each named to the Associated Press 2024 NFL All-Pro team.

Warner was a first-team All-Pro selection defensively, while Kittle and Juszczyk were second-team All-Pro choices offensively.

Playing in all 17 games this season, Warner racked up a team-leading 131 tackles. The BYU alum also tallied seven passes defensed, five tackles for loss, four forced fumbles, two interceptions and one sack.

It marks the third season consecutively that Warner has garnered first-team All-Pro honors. The 6-foot-3, 230 pound linebacker notched 115-plus tackles for a seventh consecutive season. In the process, Warner became one of just two players since 2000 to accomplish this feat in their first seven seasons.

Kittle played in 15 games this season, catching 78 passes for 1,106 yards with eight touchdowns. The Iowa alum became one of just five NFL tight ends all-time to have registered four 1,000-yard receiving seasons in their career.

Kittle joined the ranks of Travis Kelce (7), Tony Gonzalez (4), Rob Gronkowski (4) and Jason Witten (4) in that regard.

Among NFL tight ends, Kittle’s 2024 numbers ranked fifth in receptions, third in receiving yards and tops in yards per reception. The 6-foot-4, 250 pound tight end’s four 100-yard receiving games were the most of any tight end in the league. Kittle’s eight touchdowns were also the most of an NFC tight end.

Juszczyk earned his second career All-Pro nod. The Harvard product caught 19 passes for 200 yards and a pair of receiving scores and also carried five times for 26 yards with one rushing touchdown.

Aaron Donald ties NFL record with 8th career All-Pro selection

Aaron Donald is a first-team All-Pro for the 8th time, tying the record for the most by any defensive player in NFL history.

Aaron Donald has as strong a resume for the Pro Football Hall of Fame as anyone in the NFL, and it got even better on Friday. The Associated Press announced its All-Pro teams for the 2023 season and Donald was once again a first-team selection.

It’s the eighth time Donald has been voted a first-team All-Pro, tying the record for the most ever by a defensive player. He tied Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White and Bruce Smith as the only defensive players to be first-team All-Pros eight times.

In 16 games this season (he sat out Week 18 for rest), Donald had eight sacks, 23 quarterback hits and 16 tackles for a loss. He finished with 53 total tackles, as well.

The other interior defensive lineman to be voted a first-team All-Pro this year was Chris Jones of the Chiefs.

No other Rams players made the first-team, but Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua were second-team selections – each their first time being voted All-Pros at any level.
