The San Francisco 49ers are one of the most successful franchises in NFL history. The Niners have won five Super Bowls, and had many all-time greats on those championship teams.
When Bill Walsh was the head coach, the offense got a ton of credit. Quarterback Joe Montana is arguable the best ever at his position, while there is no debate about wide receiver Jerry Rice’s place in history.
The most successful 49ers teams over the past decade have been among the best defensive units in the league, with players like Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman, and Nick Bosa leading the way.
