Preseason predictions can sometimes cause a person to eat crow. For one sportswriter’s prediction about the San Francisco 49ers, a literal shirt is about to go down the hatch.
Jarrett Bailey, a contributor to multiple NFL sites, did what any good online sports account does and made a tier list that grabbed the attention of many back in May. He ranked all 32 NFL teams based on how they look after the 2022 draft, with the Niners in the "Just miss playoffs" tier.
A user by the name of @49ersDeem responded to the list with, “Jarrett about to get @adamrank treatment from 49ers fans when the team goes 13-4,” with three cry-laughing emojis.
