Fred Warner has been named the No. 1 linebacker in the Associated Press’ NFL rankings for the 2020 season. Warner, who plays for the San Francisco 49ers, is coming off a stellar 2019 season in which he earned his first Pro Bowl selection and was named a first-team All-Pro.
Warner has been a key part of the 49ers defense since he was drafted in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He has started all 32 games since then and has been a consistent force in the middle of the defense. He has been a tackling machine, leading the team in tackles in both of his seasons in the league. He also has shown an ability to make plays in coverage, with five interceptions and 16 passes defended over that span.
Warner’s selection as the No. 1 linebacker in the AP’s rankings is well deserved. He has been one of the most consistent and reliable players on the 49ers defense and has been a leader on and off the field. His selection is a testament to his hard work and dedication to the game.
The 49ers are hoping that Warner can continue to be a key part of their defense for years to come. With his selection as the No. 1 linebacker in the AP’s rankings, it looks like he is well on his way to becoming one of the best linebackers in the league.
