San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner is excited for a defensive renaissance under Robert Saleh.

The 49ers announced last week that Saleh had been hired back as defensive coordinator after a disastrous 2024 season as head coach of the New York Jets which saw him fired after a 2-3 start. Saleh led the 49ers defense to a Super Bowl appearance after the 2019 season as defensive coordinator, and his defenses were ranked in the top five in the last two years of his first stint. Warner said he is looking forward to returning to that dominance now that Saleh is back.
