The San Francisco 49ers are looking to continue their success in defending the pass. Last season, the Niners ranked third in passing yards allowed and in yards per attempt. They also allowed the second-lowest amount of passing plays that went 20 or more yards.
However, there's still plenty of areas to improve for this area of the defense.
The 49ers were tied for the ninth-fewest of sacks and were middle of the pack in passer rating, completion percentage, and passing touchdowns allowed.
Right now, the pass defense is looking to be in better hands despite the changes in the secondary.
