Makes some room in the top 15, Fred Warner and George Kittle have their rankings for 2024 NFL supremacy.

The NFL announced Wednesday that both San Francisco 49ers’ difference-makers have been named to the Top 15 players of the NFL Top 100 of 2024. Both men have been featured on the rankings previously, becoming households names in football families nationwide. Both Kittle and Warner rose four places from 2023. The former moved to 15th from 19th, while the latter went from 15th to 11th.

The NFL unveils their Top 100 from 100-1, with more 49ers expected to be on it. Kittle and Warner mark the sixth and seventh Red & Gold members to be named so far, as both Trent Williams and Christian McCaffrey have yet to be named.

Fred Warner, 27, has become a staple in the NFL, arguably the best middle linebacker win the game today. The 49ers’ defensive captain is a three-time All-Pro and Pro-Bowl player, leading the Red & Gold in tackles the past few years. In 2023, the BYU alum racked up 132 combined tackles, four forced fumbles, two and a half sacks, four interceptions and 11 pass break-ups.

George Kittle, 30, is also a staple in the NFL community, both for his on-field performance and off-the-field personality. The People’s Tight End has rebounded from an injury-laden 2020 season to only miss seven contests combined since. In 2023, the University of Iowa alum had his second All-Pro season of his NFL career, recording 1,020 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 65 catches. He is a two-time All-Pro and a five-time Pro Bowler.
