2015 Statistics

The 49ers offensive line was a mess for much of the 2015 season, and the right side of the line was particularly susceptible for the first half.

Rookie guard Trent Brown saw limited action in the first weeks of the season but ended up filling a void at right tackle in Weeks 15 through 17 and accredited himself quite well. And it’s worth noting his 6’9″, 376-pound stature has some potential behind it.

Some of this potential can be seen right here:

Brown has a lot of upside and could be a wild card in the 49ers’ future plans along the O-line. He certainly exceeded expectations in his limited time this season but also has a long way to go in order to ensure something worthwhile at the next level.

Grade: B-
