Trent Williams ranks No. 2 among NFL offensive tackles in ESPN survey

Trent Williams of the San Francisco 49ers ranks second in ESPN's annual offensive tackle survey, falling short of the top spot held by Detroit's Penei Sewell. Williams, who turns 38 this month, received varied rankings from NFL executives, coaches, and scouts due to concerns about his age despite solid performance metrics. His two-year, $50 million extension with the 49ers, finalized in April, underscores the team's reliance on him, as evidenced by their performance with and without him on the field. Williams posted a 92.2% pass block win rate in 2025, maintaining his status among the league's best tackles. He is expected to continue protecting quarterback Brock Purdy for at least the next two seasons.
