Ronald Blair is 49ers most underrated defender in 2019 so far

When you think of the San Francisco 49ers defensive front, you’re likely going to consider the big names: DeForest Buckner, Arik Armstead, Dee Ford, Nick Bosa and perhaps Solomon Thomas.

It’s only following some afterthought you might toss in fourth-year pro Ronald Blair.

Blair was a menace during the Niners’ 41-17 one-sided win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. And he’s one of six San Francisco players to record a sack on the young season, which came in Cincinnati — a game in which he also recorded five tackles, three of which were for a loss, and a quarterback hit.
