Rockland Native & 49ers Coach Deuce Schwartz Headed to the Super Bowl

A former Rockland athlete has made it all the way to the big game. Deuce Schwartz grew up in the Village of Suffern and played High School Football for Suffern HS before heading to Union College. He is in his second season as a 49ers offensive quality control coach. He joined the 49ers after spending the 2021 season as a defensive analyst at the University of Missouri.

San Francisco’s offense was led in 2022 by WR Brandon Aiyuk and RB Christian McCaffrey, who was acquired in a mid-season trade. Aiyuk registered 1,015 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, giving him the fi rst 1,000-yard season of his career. McCaffrey registered 1,210 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns after joining the team in Week 7. San Francisco saw three starting quarterbacks during the season, with rookie QB Brock Purdy becoming the team’s starter in Week 13. The 49ers offense remained explosive, as the team ranked fifth in the NFL in yards per game (365.6) and averaged 5.9 yards per play, the fourth-highest mark in the league.
