So much has already been said and written about the pressure on the 49ers’ 2025 draft class. San Francisco’s rookie crop comes into the season under significant pressure as a collective with several members likely to start or play significant roles.

Ricky Pearsall will be expected to jusfity his first-round status as a starting receiver, while Renardo Green, Dominick Puni and Malik Mustapha, when he recovers from a knee injury, will all be looking to take another step forward and avoid a sophomore slump that could jeopardize their positions as starters.
