The Unsung Heroes of Kyle Shanahan's 49ers | San Francisco 49ers News
Description
Kyle Shanahan’s seven-year run with the 49ers has been legendary, but the real unsung heroes? The players who quietly powered his success. Emmanuel Sanders, a half-season veteran, brought veteran calm that George Kittle praised as Mike Evans-level. Matt Breida, an undrafted gem averaging five yards per carry, was criminally underused. Arik Armstead, the defensive anchor for nine years, delivered 10 sacks in 2019 and paved the way for Bosa’s dominance. Dre Greenlaw, overshadowed by Fred Warner, racked up over 100 tackles and nearly carried the team to a Super Bowl win in 2023. And Kyle Juszczyk? The fullback mastermind who blocked, carried, and caught touchdowns — quietly indispensable for nine seasons. These guys deserve their flowers — even if it’s a little late.
