Analyzing which San Francisco 49ers second-year player will make the biggest leap in 2024.
Their first pick was safety Ji'Ayir Brown, whom they traded up to get in Round 3. He looks good. Other than him, the 49ers have a bunch of disappointments and question marks.
Jake Moody missed three kicks in the playoffs and seems to be mentally fragile. Cam Latu was outrageously awful in training camp and spent the entire season on the Injured Reserve List. Darrell Luter Jr. missed most of the season due to injury only to play in the Super Bowl and muff a punt. Robert Beal Jr. appeared in only four games. And Dee Winters, Brayden Willis, Ronnie Bell and Jalen Graham all played special teams and that's about it.
Will an impact player please stand up? Coaches often say that professional football players make their biggest improvements between Years 1 and 2 in the NFL. So if one of these second-year 49ers will make a big leap next season, who will it be?The 49ers need someone to replace Charlie Woerner -- he signed this offseason with the Falcons. He was the 49ers' no. 2 tight end behind George Kittle.
If Willis plays well this offseason, the no. 2 tight end job is his. And he should play well, because he's a quality young tight end. He even got snaps on the field during the Super Bowl when George Kittle was injured.
