For fans of teams other than the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs, the offseason is already here. While the long wait for meaningful football can be trying, the offseason also brings a sense of hope for the 2021 season.
Between free agency and the draft, NFL teams have the potential to get better in a hurry. Just look at the 49ers, who went 4-12 just one year ago.
San Francisco should also be a reminder that incoming players aren't the only ones to watch. Running back Raheem Mostert—who rushed for 772 yards in the regular season and another 220 in the NFC title game—has been with the team since 2016.
