Of all the issues for the San Francisco 49ers in 2024, coverage in the secondary was a huge bright spot for the defense with the emergence of Renardo Green, combined with the stellar play of Deommodore Lenoir. Lenoir finished 20th in the NFL with a 71.7 coverage grade, allowing 58 receptions on 89 targets and zero touchdowns in 15 games. Green earned a 74.3 coverage grade and allowed 44 catches on 70 targets and three touchdowns in the same number of games.
While there is no doubt the 49ers' cornerback duo’s arrow is pointing up, the depth behind the top two cornerbacks is a huge question.
