Robert Saleh Builds San Francisco 49ers Defense With Ex New York Jets Players originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Francisco 49ers cannot stop adding players that have previous playing experience with the New York Jets.

Not every New York Jets player thrives elsewhere, as shown by the ouster of a former NY gem who is now reuniting with Robert Saleh.

Saleh’s first season as San Francisco’s defensive coordinator will see him link up with a player he knows well from the New York Jets.

Bryce Huff’s 2024 season in Vic Fangio’s 3-4 wasn’t exactly highlight material. Getting back in a better scheme might matter more than the coach reunion, though Saleh definitely doesn’t hurt.

Former New York Jets pass rusher Bryce Huff was just involved in a trade between the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers.

Verderame has Glenn ranked as the No. 30 coach in the NFL, and Fields the No. 29 starting quarterback. The No. 31 overall ranking is a fall from grace for a Jets team that landed at No. 16 on last year's ranking.

The 49ers made Williams the 11th overall pick to start opposite Bosa, who is a five-time Pro Bowler. The duo gives defensive coordinator Robert Saleh a lot to work with. Saleh is back for a second stint under Kyle Shanahan, rejoining the 49ers after being fired from the Jets.

Recently released New York Jets punter Thomas Morstead just joined the San Francisco 49ers this offseason after signing a new deal.
