Two 49ers rookies shine on PFF’s all-rookie team—offensive tackle Carver Willis and defensive lineman Bryson Eason—but why did standout receiver De’Zhaun Stribling, who hauled in seven of eight targets for 63 yards, miss the cut? While Willis dominated run-blocking with a stellar 90.1 grade and Eason earned respect for clean play (77.3), Stribling’s low yards-per-catch average and lack of big plays hurt his PFF standing—even though he outperformed some listed receivers in raw stats. The episode dives into how PFF’s grading system favors explosive plays over consistency, and how the 49ers’ rookie-heavy roster creates fierce competition for early recognition. Stribling’s quiet excellence still offers valuable insight for the coaching staff—and proves that impact isn’t always measured in touchdowns or flashy numbers.
