The 49ers have the best linebacker in football. Most observers would probably acknowledge that there is nobody better at the position than Fred Warner. Yet such is Warner’s brilliance that the overall strength of the Niners at linebacker flies somewhat under the radar.
Injuries to Warner’s running mates are a likely contributor to this. Both Dre Greenlaw and Azeez Al-Shaair have had issues staying healthy during their careers. However, when healthy, they have each performed at a very high level.
