The San Francisco 49ers had a down year, but that won’t stop them from being well-represented at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games on Feb. 2 in Orlando.
Four 49ers were selected to participate in the games, with four others landing as alternates. The players going to the games are all regular participants when the 49ers aren’t in the Super Bowl.
Defensive end Nick Bosa is going for the fifth time in his career and for the fourth year in a row. Bosa this season battled through an injury and still posted 9.0 sacks in 13 games. He also ranked fifth in total pressures according to Pro Football Focus.
Tight end George Kittle got his sixth Pro Bowl nod and his fourth consecutive. Kittle had his fourth 1,000-yard season, putting him in a rare group with Travis Kelce, Rob Gronkowski, Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten. That group of five players are the only TEs in NFL history with four-plus 1,000-yard seasons.
Fullback Kyle Juszczyk is a Pro Bowler for the ninth-straight time, and linebacker Fred Warner got his third consecutive, fourth overall, nod.
Juszczyk remains the most versatile, dominant fullback in the NFL even as more teams start to deploy fullbacks. Warner played through a broken bone in his ankle for most of the year and still maintained his status as one of the best off-ball linebackers in the sport. It wasn’t his best year, but he’s good enough that he’ll earn the benefit of the doubt in a rough season.
The alternates for San Francisco include defensive end Leonard Floyd, cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, quarterback Brock Purdy and left tackle Trent Williams.
It’s unlikely we’ll see Williams play even if he does get selected since he’s battling an ankle injury that landed him on IR. Purdy is also dealing with an elbow injury he suffered in Week 17 that will likely keep him out for the season finale in Arizona.
