Best Moments of the 2022 Season 

@LindseyLares: RB Christian McCaffrey

The 49ers October trade for McCaffrey completely changed the course of the season for San Francisco, reigniting an offense that was slow to start the year. I mentioned this several times over the course of the year—it’s no coincidence that the 49ers 12-game win streak began when McCaffrey had full command of the playbook. Beginning in Week 8, when McCaffrey was fully unleashed, San Francisco’s offense was in high gear, putting up 30-or-more points in seven of their last ten games. His impact on the field was almost immediate, and the numbers he put up this year were nothing short of impressive. In a San Francisco uniform, McCaffrey had 159 carries for 746 yards and six rushing touchdowns and added another 52 catches for 464 yards and four receiving touchdowns. He also had a passing touchdown against the Rams. He was exactly the player John Lynch and Co. envisioned he would be and more.

@JesusZarate87: DL Nick Bosa

There are several really good options for 2022 MVP, but I will pick Bosa because his season was very dominant from start to finish. He led the league in sacks with 18.5, registered 51 tackles and also had more quarterback hits than everyone else in the NFL with 48. Bosa won the 2022 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, the 2022 PFWA Defensive Player of the Year, was selected to his third-career Pro Bowl and was a First-Team AP All-Pro for the first time in his career. Bosa had a sensational season and was a constant force in the trenches for the 49ers in 2022.

@BriMcDonaldTV: LB Fred Warner

Warner has made a huge impact to the 49ers defense since he was drafted in 2018, and this year he shined. The middle linebacker has taken on the responsibility of being San Francisco’s defensive quarterback and has performed at an elite level, leading the 49ers defense to a No. 1 overall ranking and earning All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors for his efforts. As a third-year team captain, Warner’s voice has taken command of the team and his leadership has become an integral part of the 49ers success – hyping his teammates up in pregame speeches and leading by example on the field. Warner closed out the 2022 season with a total of 130 combined tackles, three tackles for loss, six quarterback hits, one interception, 10 passes defended and one forced fumble.
