Professional career
Juszczyk was expected to be a third or fourth round pick coming out of Harvard. He was ranked as the best fullback out of the 94 available on NFLDraftscout.com. Juszczyk did all the necessary drills and positional workouts at Harvard's Pro Day, although he was not invited to the NFL Combine.
In the fourth round (130th overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected Juszczyk. He was the first fullback pick of the 2013 NFL Draft. Juszczyk was the first fullback drafted from Harvard and only the tenth player in school history to be drafted. He was the second highest pick in school history, only behind Isaiah Kacyvenski, who was picked in the fourth round (119th overall) in the 2000 NFL Draft.
The Baltimore Ravens signed Juszczyk to a four-year, $2.46 million contract, with a signing bonus of $300,574.
Juszczyk, who spent his rookie year in Berlin, will be the Ravens' starting fullback. He was named Leach's backup for the regular season. In the Ravens' season-opening 49-27 loss to the Denver Broncos, he made his professional regular season debut. He appeared in all 16 regular season games, but was mostly on special teams and as a blocking fullback throughout his rookie season.
Juszczyk made the Baltimore Ravens' full throttle the following year after acquiring Vonta Leach in February. He also shifted his jersey number from #40 to #44, which he had worn at Harvard and Leach had worn the season before. In the Ravens' season-opener loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, he made his first appearance in his career. During a 23-21 loss to the Cleveland Browns on September 21, 2014, he caught three passes for a season-high 54 receiving yards and his first touchdown reception. Joe Flacco's first appearance in his career was a nine-yard touchdown pass. Juszczyk won by 21–7 in a Week 10 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. He had a season-high three passes for 26 touchdown yards. Juszczyk finished the season with 19 receptions for 182 receiving yards and a touchdown while playing in all 16 games. Since the 2014 season, he was named a Pro Bowl alternate at fullback.

In addition to two runs for 15 yards and his first NFL rushing touchdown, he completed the Ravens' 27-31 loss to the Steelers with two carries for 15 yards and his first NFL rushing touchdown while receiving two passes for ten yards. With the loss, the Ravens were effectively kicked out of playoff contention. It was announced on January 20, 2017 that it had been selected as an original pick to his first Pro Bowl. Juszcyzk was rated as the top fullback for 2016 by Pro Football Focus. In 2016, he had the most snaps of any fullback, finishing with 465, more than any other fullback.
Juszczyk joined a free agency for the first time in his career in 2017 and was the best fullback on the market. Several franchises, including the Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills, and the San Francisco 49ers, all showed an interest and offer. The Philadelphia Eagles had a great chance to land the coveted free agent first, but the Buffalo Bills overtook them as the favorite as the team's search for a healthy replacement for Jerome Felton.
The San Francisco 49ers agreed to Juszczyk's four-year, $21 million deal, which includes $7 million as a minimum and a signing bonus of $5 million. It was the highest deal for a fullback in NFL history.
