No. 3: The 49ers rookies will make an impact

One major reason the 49ers went from 4-12 to a Super Bowl team in just one season was just how many rookies made major contributions to the year.

EDGE Nick Bosa, wide receiver Deebo Samuel, linebacker Dre Greenlaw and punter Mitch Wishnowsky all made big contributions that made the 49ers a better team.

They haven’t had a problem in clutch situations either. Bosa has been a monster since being drafted, Deebo is the most versatile and dynamic wide receiver on the roster, Greenlaw has a famous moment under his belt that clinched the No. 1 seed for the 49ers, and Wishnowsky has made returning the ball utter hell for returners.

They haven’t shrunk away in the playoffs, and I don’t expect them to shrink away even during the Super Bowl either.

Look for the rookies to make big plays on the field, as they continue to showcase their talents in what could be a very promising draft class indeed for San Francisco.

Could we even see a MVP among them? We’ve seen Bosa and Deebo take over games before.

Just a thought.
