The 49ers' offensive line has been one of the best in the league this season

Once upon a time, there was rampant speculation that the offensive line was the main thing holding back this otherwise stacked 49ers roster. While it’s a mistake to speak in such definitives before we had a chance to evaluate what the group would look like, I think the uncertainty was more than fair given all the moving parts on the reworked offensive line.

There were so many moving parts on the line, with Trent Williams being the only starter starting for the 49ers in the NFC Championship just a few months prior. You had two first-time starters at each guard position and a journeyman center that was getting his first opportunity as a Week 1 starter in his seventh season in the NFL.
