Special Teams (3): Robbie Gould, Bradley Pinion, Kyle Nelson

This special teams unit is one of the best in the league. Robbie Gould is as consistent of a kicker there is, Bradley Pinion has seemed to clean up his inconsistency of ball placement and I cannot remember the last time Kyle Nelson has botched a snap.

There should be no controversy within this group, as it should carry this team to some wins.

San Francisco wraps up its final preseason bout on Thursday, Aug. 30 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Two days later, on Sept. 1, the Niners will have to trim their 90-man preseason roster down to 53 players.
