Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes leads the fan portion of Pro Bowl voting. He's followed by Seattle Seahawks quarterback
Russell Wilson. That probably won't come as a surprise to many.
What might be surprising is that just one San Francisco 49ers player is among those leading by position. That would be fullback
Kyle Juszczyk, who is obviously deserving. But what about the others?
Yes, the 49ers are 4-6 and may not be able to stack enough wins down the stretch to sneak into the playoffs, but some names are deserving.
The first name that comes to mind is probably star linebacker
Fred Warner, who leads the team in tackles. Green Bay Packers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers recently called Warner the best linebacker in the game.
"Ain't nobody better. There really isn't,"
Rodgers told Warner after the two teams met during Week 9. "You're the best, and everybody knows it. The film don't lie. You should be All-Pro."
Then you have
Jason Verrett, who has been one of the best cornerbacks in the league this season, according to Pro Football Focus.
Trent Williams is the analytics site's second-highest graded offensive tackle.
While the 49ers' record may ultimately hurt players' chances of being honored with Pro Bowl selections, there is still time for the Niner Faithful to change that.

"No, the NFL is not scripted," a smiling Purdy responded. However, the quarterback added, "Good

Why one analyst is worried for Brock Purdy if 49ers trade Brandon Aiyuk
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy achieved a remarkable feat in 2023, setting a single-season franchise record with 4,280 passing yards. This accomplishment is noteworthy, considering the illustrious quarterbacks who have graced the organization's history.
A significant portion of those yards came from wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who amassed a career-high and team-leading 1,342 receiving yards. Most of his 75 catches originated from passes thrown by Purdy.
Amidst significant offseason chatter surrounding the 49ers' star receiver, including several unsubstantiated trade rumors, Aiyuk's future remains uncertain. Former NFL player James Jones, now an analyst, expressed concern for Purdy should Aiyuk's tenure in the Bay Area come to an end.

49ers' Fred Warner addresses Armstead's departure, Greenlaw's recovery, Super Bowl window
The news of Arik Armstead's departure from the San Francisco 49ers after nine seasons with the team shocked linebacker Fred Warner. Armstead, a former first-round pick, was an impactful force on the football field. However, his availability over the last two seasons forced the 49ers to reevaluate his contract, and when his salary could not be significantly reduced, the two sides parted ways.
"Huge surprise," Warner said of learning that Armstead was being released. "Ever since I've been here, we called him the blueprint for how to be a Niner. That was the longest-tenured Niner that's been here and a guy that's done it right through and through."
Warner has been in the NFL long enough to understand how the league works. Over the years, he's watched several
