“I’m proud of these guys for how hard they worked,” York told me in an exclusive interview. “They have to stay focused this week and then get into the craziness of Miami the week after.”
The 49ers’ CEO won’t say it so I will: The state of this franchise has never been better in the 20 years under York-family control.
