Cause for concern? The 49ers’ average age on the roster is the highest in the NFL
ESPN ranked the 49ers in the middle of the pack for their future power rankings
The San Francisco 49ers have the oldest average age on their roster among all NFL teams, according to ESPN's future power rankings. The league's grading system, which evaluates teams' quarterback situations, rosters, front offices, and coaching, places the 49ers at 14th overall with an 82.4 overall score. The front office received a 74, ranking 23rd.
While the coaching staff scored a 93.5, ranking second, the roster excluding the quarterback ranked 16th. The 49ers' offensive success may depend on how well coach Kyle Shanahan can continue developing young talent despite their aging roster. Age and longevity are particular concerns for the team, with several key players nearing the end of their contracts.
