Summary
The San Francisco 49ers defense is primed for a breakout, fueled by a young core of rising stars. Rookie Alfred Collins, a second-round pick, stunned coaches with his rapid improvement and relentless work ethic, earning high praise from former head coach Robert Saleh, who called him a “bear to stop” when he hits his stride. Mykel Williams and CJ West, also key contributors despite limited snaps, are seen as vital pieces in the puzzle. With new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris taking the reins, the focus is on unlocking the pass-rush potential that ranked last in sacks last season. If Collins, Williams, and West can elevate their play under Morris’s system, the 49ers’ front seven could become a dominant force — especially in the brutal NFC West.
