Linebackers

  • Kwon Alexander
  • Fred Warner
  • Dre Greenlaw
  • Elijah Lee
  • David Mayo

Fred Warner will look to build off his impressive rookie season from a year ago while Alexander will help solidify the weakside linebacker position. The excellent play of Dre Greenlaw has made Malcolm Smith expendable who the 49ers already cut earlier this week. Lee and Mayo will provide depth while also helping on Special Teams.
