Last Thursday, NFL.com ranked every team’s offensive “triplets” around the league. The San Francisco 49ers were listed as a bottom-five trio. That was so wrong our own Mark Salveit followed up with a piece about it on Friday.
What if we opened it up to the entire skill position group? How much would the 49ers improve? ESPN’s Bill Barnwell did just that. Unfortunately, the Niners still found themselves in the ‘20s. For whatever it’s worth, the team was ranked 31st in 2017, and 26th in 2018. This year they’re up to 24, according to Barnwell.
