Fred Warner Breaks 49ers Tackle Record | Salt Lake City News

Fred Warner just shattered the San Francisco 49ers’ all-time tackle record, surpassing Patrick Willis with his 959th stop—his second tackle against the Rams on Thursday. The linebacker, entering his ninth season, has averaged 124 tackles annually since 2018, earning four First-Team All-Pro nods, two Super Bowl rings, and the highest-paid LB contract in the league. His impact extends beyond tackles—he forced a fumble and batted down a pass in that game, despite recovering from an ankle injury. His career stats are elite: 10 sacks, 18 forced fumbles, 10 interceptions, and even a defensive TD—including a pick off Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LIV. His BYU roots hint at a legacy built early. Warner isn’t just a tackler—he’s a game-changer, now cemented as one of the NFL’s greatest, especially after breaking a Hall of Famer’s record on a global stage.
