Special Teams

Kicker: Phil Dawson

Punter: Andy Lee

Long-Snapper: Brian Jennings

There may not be a lot of drama here, but kicker Phil Dawson wins out as the all-time great for the 49ers over the course of the last decade.

Currently at 41 years old, Dawson has been an ageless wonder for the 49ers and one of the lone offensive X-factors for San Francisco over the past two seasons. 2014 may have been his roughest season with the Niners — as he converted just over 80 percent of his field-goal attempts — but he’s posted an 88.9 conversion rate in 2013 and 2015, which gives him the nod.

And it’s hard to argue about former 49ers punter Andy Lee, who was named a First-Team All-Pro while in San Francisco in 2011 and 2012.

Lastly, we have to give some love to retired long-snapper Brian Jennings — the last Niner to be drafted by the late Bill Walsh and someone who once called wide receiver Jerry Rice a teammate.
