2024 NFC Preseason Power Rankings: Can the 49ers overcome history?

This upcoming season has been labeled “The Last Dance” for the San Francisco 49ers as they attempt to overcome the dreaded Super Bowl hangover for the second time under Kyle Shanahan.

Talent isn’t an issue, as the Niners bring back everybody from a historic offense outside of tight ends Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley. Unlike last summer, quarterback Brock Purdy was able to throw passes this offseason. Trent Williams and Brandon Aiyuk have yet to participate in training camp, but not much evidence suggests they won’t be out there by Week 1.

The defense lost critical starters on the defensive line and replaced them with Leonard Floyd, Maliek Collins, Jordan Elliott, and Yetur Gross-Matos.
