The San Francisco 49ers faced a tumultuous 2024 season, drastically underperforming from their previous 12-5 record to a disappointing 6-11. Injuries plagued key offensive players such as Christian McCaffrey, who only played four games, and Brandon Aiyuk, who suffered an ACL tear in his seventh game. Other stars like Deebo Samuel and George Kittle also dealt with injuries, while the defense saw significant losses with players like Nick Bosa and Talanoa Hufanga sidelined at various points. Offseason changes include trading Samuel to Washington and signing quarterback Mac Jones, along with new defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. The upcoming 2025 NFL Draft is critical for the franchise to rebuild and refocus.
