Entering his fourth year with the 49ers, Williams is coming off the first two All-Pro seasons of his career.
SANTA CLARA — At some point, logic suggests Trent Williams will need to rely on his experience and know-how to compensate for a declining skill set in terms of power and explosion.When coaches and analysts crunch film and numbers and fellow players gather and ponder who can really play the most violent of games, Williams makes everyone sit up and take notice. He has the respect of his peers and and his credibility is off the charts.
NFL.com names a Top 100 each year and Williams checked in at No. 14 last year based on a player vote . With Williams in a dispute with Washington over medical care relating to treatment of a cancerous growth on his head that was surgically removed, the 49ers were able to get the left tackle for third- and fifth-round draft picks in 2020 after Joe Staley retired.“It is amazing. He’s just one of those physical specimens,” Foerster said. “As time has gone on he doesn’t look any different. It just shocks me. He moves as well as he always has.
Williams understands one wrong step can leave his quarterback flat on his back and No. 71 will be singled out on instant replay as the culprit. One of Williams’ strategies to keep his mind right is taking young players under his wing, inviting them for offseason sessions where they can pick is brain and inject some 20-something enthusiasm.
