Fred Warmer rose his 2018 draft stock with an excellent Senior Bowl and combine, which landed him a Third Round Selection. The 49ers were impressed with his work and he became a starter at Middle Linebacker.

Warner quickly proved his worth recording 124 Combined Tackles as a rookie and 118 as a sophomore, winning the NFC November Defensive Player of the Month, and helping them in their march to the Super Bowl, where they fell to Kansas City. In 2020, Warner was recognized as the game’s top interior Linebacker, winning Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro honors with a top ten finish in Approximate Value (19).

After another solid year in 2021, Warner again was named a First Team All-Pro and Pro Bowler with a 17 in Approximate Value, enough for his second career top ten finish. In his five NFL seasons, Warner has always amassed at least 100 Tackles, with 130-plus in the last two years.

Warner begins 2023 as an elite Linebacker and if the 49ers win it all, he will be a huge reason why.
