On Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers selected Georgia tight end Charlie Woerner with the 190th overall pick in the sixth round of the NFL Draft.
It came as a bit of a surprise, as Woerner was viewed as a guy who was likely to go undrafted, but the 49ers took a shot on the former four-star out of Rabun County in Tiger, Georgia.
From 2016-2019, Woerner caught 34 passes from Jake Fromm. He tallied 376 yards and scored his lone touchdown last season against Georgia Tech.
He is primarily a run blocking tight end who is not afraid to get physical as you’ll see below.
Woerner is the nephew of former Georgia All-American defensive back Scott Woerner.
Here are some Twitter reactions to San Francisco taking the 6-foot-5, 245 pound Woerner:
Good ol’ Charlie Woerner heads to the @49ers. Good luck and congrats, Charlie! #NFLDraft

Charlie Woerner and his blocking skills will fit in nicely with Shanahan’s system 👀 | #49ers

Charlie Woerner (6-5, 244) is clearly a projected replacement for blocking specialist Levine Toilolo. In 14 games for Georgia last season, he caught nine passes for 78 yards and a TD. He does the dirty work in the running game. #49ers

Charlie Woerner TE Georgia
Is a full back/TE move piece that is at his best when run blocking! The list of RBs he has blocked for is impressive

Charlie Woerner TE Georgia
Not a big receiving threat at all with only 34 receptions though 3 years as a starter. But he is a blocking machine in the open field. #CharlieWoerner #49ers pic.twitter.com/HSuxJC0noP

Charlie Woerner was seriously underused at UGA
