San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner earned the No. 16 spot on NFL Network's annual "Top 100 Players" list.
Widely regarded as one of the best linebackers in the NFL, Warner continues to anchor San Francisco's defense with his elite playmaking and leadership. Entering his seventh season, the four-time first-team AP All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowler remains the heartbeat of the 49ers defense. In 2024, Warner recorded 131 total tackles, five tackles for loss, four forced fumbles, two interceptions (including a 45-yard pick-six), and earned his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl selection.
The "Top 100 Players of 2025" is a video series produced by NFL Films, highlighting the league's elite talents and is now being revealed on X and streaming on NFL+. The top 10 will be announced on Sunday, September 1 at 5 p.m. PT live on NFL Network.
The "NFL Top 100" began ahead of the 2011 season, and the list is determined by current NFL players voting on their peers based on their body of work from the previous year.
