Your daily San Francisco 49ers news for Friday, June 20th, 2025
49ers third-round pick Nick Martin broke his thumb, but won’t need surgery (paywall)
“Martin, the team’s third-round pick, won’t need surgery and is expected to be fully healthy by training camp in July.
After a video surfaced in which star offensive tackle Trent Williams said that Martin had broken his thumb during a workout, many 49ers fans on social media assumed the worst. Martin had missed most of his final season at Oklahoma State with a knee injury that likely affected his drafted stock. Pro Football Focus ranked Martin, an All-Big 12 first-team selection in 2023, as the 307th prospect on its big board.”
“So, I don’t think that they would have been in the market necessarily to pay a guy starting money, and a guy who thinks he’s coming in as the starter as long as he’s healthy. I’m sure Jaire Alexander is at a point in his career where—and rightfully so—he considers himself a starter.”

“Young was big and powerful, but also surprisingly agile and a very instinctive defender,” Rang explained. “Collins is still figuring things out, but his physical traits are like something generated on AI. If the 49ers hit on him, they truly will have struck gold.”
