## Resource

Fred Warner just won his fourth straight NFL Defensive Player of the Year award—despite missing six games last season with a broken ankle. In just those six outings, he delivered 51 tackles, 3 pass deflections, and 2 forced fumbles, earning 70% of first-place votes. His absence hurt the 49ers’ defense, with explosive plays doubling when he was sidelined. Roquan Smith took second, praised for instincts and toughness, but Warner’s elite game-processing speed still edges him out. Healthy for training camp at 29, Warner is already a four-time All-Pro and trails only Patrick Willis on the 49ers’ all-time list—could he break that record next?
