Purdy Stresses Williams' Importance to 49ers
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has highlighted the importance of All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams, calling him his 'safety blanket' and emphasizing his impact on Purdy's confidence and performance. Williams missed significant time in 2024 due to an ankle injury, and the 49ers' offense struggled, finishing with a 6-11 record as other key players, including Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk, also dealt with injuries. Williams, who will turn 37 this year, is entering the second season of a three-year, $82.6 million contract and has no plans to retire soon despite ongoing concerns about his durability. Purdy remains optimistic about the 49ers' chances in 2025 following several offseason changes, including the trade of Deebo Samuel. The team is counting on the health and leadership of Williams to anchor their offensive rebound. Purdy's trust in Williams remains a key storyline heading into the new season.
