We usually see the biggest jump in player performances from Year 1 to Year 2. But in most cases, we know who a player is by Year 3. It’s when we begin to see consistency and whether said player will have any expectations going forward.
The 49ers 2021 NFL Draft class already has an All-Pro, a pair of starters, a couple of depth pieces, and the biggest question mark from that entire draft class.
Here’s a look at the 49ers third-year players as we head into the offseason:
- QB Trey Lance (1st)
- LG Aaron Banks (2nd)
- CB Ambry Thomas (3rd)
- CB Deommodore Lenoir (5th)
- S Talanoa Hufanga (5th)
- OT Jaylon Moore (5th)
- RB Elijah Mitchell (6th)
The 88th overall pick, Trey Sermon, is an Eagle.
