Evaluating the Impact of the 49ers 2019 Rookie Class - 49ers.com

P Mitch Wishnowsky - Round 4; No. 110 Overall

16 games (0 starts)

245 snaps (243 special teams snaps)

San Francisco's fourth-round pick averaged 44.9 yards per punt on 52 punts in 2019. The 49ers punt coverage units registered 2 fumble recoveries on the season, tied for the second-most in the NFL (New England Patriots - 3; Arizona Cardinals - 2; Baltimore Ravens - 2; Jacksonville Jaguars - 2; New York Jets - 2; Seattle Seahawks - 2.)

Wishnowsky earned NFC Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. He also registered two special teams tackles on the season.

LB Dre Greenlaw - Round 5; No. 148 Overall

16 games (11 starts)

904 snaps (725 defensive snaps)

Greenlaw stepped up when linebacker Kwon Alexander went down in Week 9 with a pectoral tear. In his first start in place of Alexander, Greenlaw came up with his first-career interception off of Russell Wilson in overtime. His biggest moment of the season came in Week 17 on a goal line stop against Seahawks tight end Jacob Hollister that won the 49ers the division and clinched the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.

Greenlaw went on to appear in 16 games and finished second on the team with 92 total tackles, three for loss in addition to two passes defended, two quarterback hits, an interception and a sack. In the playoffs, Greenlaw registered 14 tackles, a forced fumble and a tackle for a loss through three games.

His first-year performance earned him a spot on Pro Football Writers of America's All-Rookie team.

TE Kaden Smith - Round 6; No. 176 Overall

Smith was waived by the 49ers in Week 2 of the regular season and was claimed off of waivers by the New York Giants shortly after. He went on to appear in nine games and posted 268 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 31 receptions in 2019.

OL Justin Skule - Round 6; No. 183 Overall

15 games (8 starts)

619 total snaps (546 offensive snaps)

Skule proved himself as a valuable swing tackle in the 49ers offense. The rookie stepped in place of Joe Staley, as the veteran left tackle tackle missed nine games while dealing with various ailments this season.

Skule was part of an offensive line that helped the 49ers rush for 275 yards and two touchdowns on 40 carries (6.9 average) against the Cleveland Browns in Week 5, the most rushing yards by the team in a single game since Dec. 2014 (355 vs. San Diego Chargers).

CB Tim Harris - Round 6; No. 198 Overall

Harris was placed on Injured Reserve at the start of the 2019 regular season.
