Back to the San Francisco 49ers Newsfeed

Who is the breakout player for the 49ers in 2025?

When the 49ers held the 31st pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, San Francisco had several options to load their roster following their Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Would the 49ers select an offensive lineman? Defensive tackles Braden Fiske and Johnny Newton were on the board. Kool-Aid McKinstry and Cooper DeJean were available to bolster the 49ers secondary. Funny enough, before the 49ers selected at 31, there was a leak on Twitter revealing the pick as DeJean. Once the draft card was turned in, Roger Goodell announced the 49ers selection.
