Returning from injury will be crucial for 49ers defensive lineman Ronald Blair
Defensive lineman Ronald Blair was a big reason why the San Francisco 49ers defense was so potent in 2019.
Sure, there were plenty of other big names on the field, particularly defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and then-rookie EDGE Nick Bosa. But Blair’s presence provided a number of crucial attributes for the Niners defense, namely situational pass-rushing duties and a valuable piece to rotate in for the team’s depth.
