49ers Offensive Line Under Fire | San Francisco 49ers News

The 49ers’ offensive line remains their biggest question mark despite a roster loaded with elite talent at every other position. With Trent Williams anchoring the left side, the rest of the unit—especially left guard—still lacks consistency, sparking criticism from veterans like Richard Sherman. Rookie Carver Willis leads the competition for left guard, but Connor Colby and Jarrett Patterson are also in the mix, while Jake Brendel returns at center despite shaky pass-blocking stats. Dominick Puni holds down right guard, and Colton McKivitz shines at right tackle, helping the unit rank tenth overall per PFF. The key to Brock Purdy’s success hinges on this group delivering better protection than last year—especially with Puni needing to rebound to solidify the right side.
