Last season the 49ers calmed a concern for fans surrounding turning the football over, particularly interceptions. Twenty-three interceptions were more than double the team’s total in 2021 (11). Jimmie Ward led the team with three interceptions, while the 2022 team had four players with three picks (Tashaun Gipson, Talanoa Hufanga, Deommodore Lenoir), including Jimmie Ward.
Gipson led the team with five, but with a new defensive coordinator, who leans toward secondary play, who will lead the team in 2023?
Tashaun Gipson, Sr.
Gipson, Sr only saw 32 targets in 2022, according to PFF, but made the most of his opportunities.
