## Resource

Fred Warner just snatched the top spot on ESPN’s list of elite off-ball linebackers—despite missing most of last season with a dislocated ankle. With 70% of first-place votes, he’s a unanimous favorite among coaches and execs. An All-Pro four times since 2020, Warner still made 51 tackles, three passes defended, and a fumble recovery in just six games. One coordinator called him a chess master for processing plays faster than anyone. With Warner healthy and key teammates returning, the 49ers could be a playoff contender again this year.
