The 49ers had the most explosive plays in the NFL when lined up in 21 personnel last year

ESPN’s Matt Bowen put together a list of which teams excelled the most at 11 different personnel groupings, from five wide receivers to two quarterbacks. It should come as no surprise that the San Francisco 49ers were the most efficient and explosive out of 21 personnel, which Kyle Shanahan relies on more than any other play-caller in the NFL.
