With training camp about to open for the San Francisco 49ers, newly extended team captain Fred Warner is set to lead the defense and revamped defensive line, which is out to prove that 2024 was a one-off for the perennial NFC title contenders.
The accolades continue to roll in for “All-Pro Fred” after being named the league’s top linebacker by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, who polled several anonymous scouts, execs, and coaches. Last season was a struggle for the 49ers and Warner, who battled an ankle injury all season. Before his injury, Warner was a leading candidate for Defensive Player of the Year.
