Continuity won’t be an issue for the San Francisco 49ers’ defense going into the 2020 season. The Niners are returning all-but-one starter from a unit that finished second in the NFL in yards against per game last year.
The 49ers have an excellent defensive line that got after the quarterback frequently in 2019. Richard Sherman led the secondary, while 23-year-old Fred Warner emerged as the leader of the linebackers.
Warner should be joined by Kwon Alexander and Dre Greenlaw as the starters in Week 1.
