## Resource

The San Francisco 49ers are quietly betting on their own young defensive linemen instead of chasing big-name pass rushers like Maxx Crosby. With a dismal sack total last season, the team is banking on internal growth, especially after key players like Nick Bosa missed time. Former DC Robert Saleh praises second-round pick Alfred Collins for his mindset and work ethic, while also highlighting Mykel Williams and C.J. West as rising talents. After the costly Trey Lance trade, the 49ers are opting for patience and development — trusting their coaching staff to turn young players into future stars, rather than risking another blockbuster move.
