49ers depth chart: Linebacker could be team’s most underrated unit

The 49ers linebackers didn’t get a ton of love on a very good defense last season. That might change in 2020.

Griffith was one of the 49ers’ 10 undrafted rookies in 2020. He’s their biggest linebacker at 6-4, 250 pounds, and he’s coming off an extremely productive college career at Indiana State where he posted 100-plus tackles in three consecutive seasons. Griffith finished his career with 382 career tackles, 14 sacks and three interceptions. It wouldn’t be a shock to see him climb off the bottom of the depth chart given the team’s penchant for finding quality UDFAs.
