Twitter reacts as 49ers take Georgia TE Charlie Woerner

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 (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

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
