Less that two weeks left for Pro Bowl voting
While we are aware that 1/3 of the Pro Bowl voting system is primarily a popularity contest, there are at least a few San Francisco 49ers players that deserve to make the trip to Hawaii.
While the 49ers' season has not gone as well as expected, there are still plenty of stand out players that deserve to make it.
Despite being ranked 11th among the NFC in tackles with 82, Brian Urlacher leads the votes for inside linebacker. Patrick Willis leads the league in tackles with 110, 14 more than his closest NFC competitor, Nick Barnett.
Punter Andy Lee leads the league in average yards per punt with 49.8. However, Mat McBriar of the Cowboys leads the voting. He is ranked 3rd in the NFC.
Kicker Joe Nedney has the best field goal percentage in the NFC at 88%. In fact, his only misses are from more than 50 yards away. He is perfect inside 50. However, Nicholas Folk of the Cowboys, who ranks second, leads the voting.
Help set things right. Take a minute to vote for these and any others 49ers that you feel are deserving.

49ers seek $120 million from NFL for Levi's Stadium upgrades amid Super Bowl bid
Levi's Stadium is slated to host 2026 World Cup events. In addition, the San Francisco 49ers hope their home venue can host a second NFL title game—Super Bowl 60. That would come a decade after Levi's Stadium last hosted the big game, Super Bowl 50. The NFL is expected to announce the sites for Super Bowl 60 and 61 in May.
49ers CEO Jed York hopes to spruce up Levi's Stadium before either of those events by securing $120 million from the NFL's stadium fund.
"Generally, those are approved, and they go through committees, so I feel fairly comfortable that will be approved," York said Tuesday at the NFL owners' meetings in Arizona.

49ers considered trading Mike McGlinchey last year
Mike McGlinchey received a life-changing payday, signing a five-year, $87.5 million deal with the Denver Broncos. The offensive tackle has known for a while that he would not return to the San Francisco 49ers, the only NFL team he has played for and the one that made him the No. 9 overall pick in 2018.
General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear to McGlinchey that he was likely playing his final months for the team. There was too much money invested in other spots, and the 49ers knew they couldn't compete with other interested teams.
Behind the scenes, Lynch and Shanahan kept McGlinchey in the loop of what the team was thinking, and everything pointed to the tackle playing elsewhere in 2023 … maybe even
