The San Francisco 49ers are the league's last undefeated team and are well-represented on the All-Pro squad. Three Niners, rookie defensive end Nick Bosa, veteran cornerback Richard Sherman, and tight end George Kittle, made the All-Pro team.
Wesseling wrote the following about Bosa's selection:
"A 49ers defensive line that was littered with first-round disappointments has been transformed into the most punishing unit in the league, with a rookie leading the way. Bosa has wrecked opposing offenses to such an extent that many are wondering whether a rookie has ever captured Defensive Player of the Year honors. The answer is yes. Lawrence Taylor emerged on the scene in 1981 with a debut so dominant that he was not only honored as the league's best defender but also inspired the sack as an official statistic in 1982."
Wesseling wrote the following about Sherman:
"A superstar and team leader for the league's only undefeated outfit, Sherman is stiff-arming all of the second-guessers who laughed at the contract he negotiated for himself in San Francisco."
Kittle beat out Darren Waller of the Oakland Raiders and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. Wesseling didn't let fantasy football statistics influence his decision at tight end, selecting who he feels is the more complete player.
Wesseling wrote the following about Kittle:
"Turn to the 49ers on NFL Game Pass and you will see a tight end who is often the most outstanding player on a field that contains Nick Bosa, Richard Sherman, Arik Armstead and superstars on the opposing sideline. The drop-proof Kittle isn't just the most dangerous run-after-catch threat at his position, he's also the most punishing blocker. A superlative athlete and a complete player, Kittle is exactly what an All-Pro looks like."
