Best 49ers Linebackers

The best linebacker in 49ers history is Fred Warner (2020s), rated 93 out of 100 — just ahead of Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman. Below, all 12 ranked, spanning 1970s–2020s.

These are all-era rankings with no cutoff year: a 49ers linebacker from the 1970s is rated on the same scale as one playing today, which is why this list looks different from rankings that only go back to the modern era. The ratings are the same ones that power 17-0, the free game where you draft a roster of all-time greats and sim whether it goes a perfect 17-0 season.
