Trent Williams is almost certainly bound for Canton whenever he decides to hang them up, the 49ers’ left tackle having racked up 11 Pro Bowl nods and three first-team All-Pro selections in his decorated career.
Williams has a chance to furnish his Hall of Fame resume in the 2025 season, which will give him the opportunity to compete for a brand new award.
The NFL confirmed last week that the forthcoming campaign will see the introduction of the ‘Protector of the Year’ award.
The winner will be decided by a panel including some of the best offensive linemen in the history of the game.
