Fifth-year safety Jason Pinnock did not hide his excitement when he was signed by the San Francisco 49ers to a one-year deal in free agency in March. The 49ers may have had a forgettable campaign last year, but they put up a laudable defensive effort, allowing just 317.4 yards per game. With the addition of Pinnock, San Francisco acquired another weapon who could make things difficult for opponents. The 26-year-old Pinnock said it was an easy choice to join the 49ers since he is already familiar with the system of defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, whom he played for on the New York Jets during his rookie year in 2021.
