Trent Williams navigates going out on top, while guiding a young 49ers tackle behind him

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Trent Williams, the best left tackle in the NFL, turned 37 last month and has talked this training camp about trying to gauge where the cliff is. He doesn't see it — the potential fall-off and end of his career — but most players in the NFL never do, as the cliff not only moves but sometimes teams just flat chuck you over it without warning. Advertisement Williams is in great shape, and he goes against former Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa every day at 49ers practice, which gives him a good measuring stick. 'He can play as long as he wants — there is no drop-off,' offensive line coach Chris Foerster said Sunday. 'And that's something I haven't seen with a guy who is 37 in all my years of coaching.' Williams is also busy pulling teammates like backup tackle Spencer Burford up the mountain, which helps keep the veteran young at heart and in mind. Burford was drafted out of Texas-San Antonio by the 49ers in the fourth round in 2022 and mentioned right after how excited he was to play with Williams. Williams reached out his hand the first time he met his fellow native Texan. 'Obviously, we clicked,' Williams said Friday. 'He's like a little brother to me now. I love him to death.' (The two actually share a birthday on July 19, which is great for Burford, as Williams owns his own jet and likes to spoil himself. 'He goes big,' Burford said, smiling, 'and I get to hang out in the background sometimes too.') Burford said that Williams 'guides me in the right direction, on and off the field,' but working out with the veteran in the offseason did take some getting used to. 'It's like working out with a coach,' Burford said. 'A lot of guys, when they approach you to work out, it's just to get it done, it's something that they have to do. But with Trent, he loves it — it's a lot more details, a lot more focus and a lot more attention. Everything you do is intentional — whether it's 16 steps this way, 16 steps that way, how you eat, how you sleep.' The two have been working out together in Houston in the offseason, and this summer, both Williams and Foerster think something really clicked. The 6-foot-4, 300-pound Burford has returned to tackle — where he played in college — after starting 29 games at guard his first two seasons with the 49ers. Advertisement Williams holds a camp for young offensive linemen at his gym in Houston, and Burford showed up weeks earlier than usual. 'He was just there working out with my trainer and stuff, just from the jump,' Williams said. 'As soon as the offseason kicked off, he was in there grinding.' And it's paid off at training camp so far. 'You can see a noticeable change in his body — he put on more muscle and you can tell he worked on his explosiveness,' Williams said. 'He worked his butt off and you can just tell, he's got a step.' Burford said, 'when a future Hall of Famer shows you the road, it's hard not to follow.' Foerster has coached Williams for four years after he was drafted in Washington and then the last three in San Francisco, and has really enjoyed watching the veteran help guide Burford. 'I think it's been great,' Foerster said. 'Trent's good with all the guys. He likes coaching and he likes mentoring, and it's a cool dynamic to watch with Spence. As much as I can coach a player, to have Trent come behind — or before, they're gonna listen. Sometimes it's exactly what I'd say. Sometimes it's a little bit different, but it does help.' As for Burford, Foerster said he's 'weathered the storm well' after some early-career struggles, 'and he's come out the other end a lot more mature.' Burford said that he had to learn that you can't copy everything that Williams does. The 6-foot-5, 320-pound 11-time Pro Bowler has uncanny strength and agility and has some violent run-blocking techniques that are also unique. 'There's things that he can do that people can't replicate,' Burford said. Williams smiled when he heard that. 'I beg to differ,' he said. 'I mean, I think he possesses the athleticism in his body. He has the foot movement. He has a great strike. He moved to tackle this camp and you can see it, man. He's playing in space and everyday he's taking a stride.' Advertisement Now that Burford has moved over from guard, he can watch what Williams does in drills and try to immediately duplicate it. Williams, meanwhile, has discovered that he has a passion for coaching. 'I always felt like offensive line was kind of an underserved position,' he said. 'There are 32 teams in the NFL and I think there are probably only four or five great O-line coaches. I always felt like this position was kind of slower evolving than all the rest … so that became my thing, giving back to the game I love by working with players.' It's that added element to his playing career that may help Williams keep putting the pads on until he is 40. Because it's the offseason workouts and meetings that get to most players in their mid- to late thirties. 'How many more meetings can you sit in after 15 years of hearing the same play put in, and most of that is from my voice,' Foerster said. 'It's mind-numbing sometimes. Now, when it gets to the season, the players start competing every week. That's not the problem … 'As Trent said to me one day, 'You know, when I'm out here on this field, I play forever.' It's all the other things that lead to getting out on that field, which eventually chase guys out.' Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Play today's puzzle

At long last, Patriots put together the kind of joint practice that inspires confidence

FOXBORO, Mass. — When Mike Vrabel finally emerged from a pile of players fighting over the typical things NFL players fight about during a joint practice, he had blood dripping from his cheek. The New England Patriots players looked at their coach a bit confused. It's rare to see an NFL head coach end up at the bottom of a skirmish. They pointed out his bleeding cheek to him. 'You should see the other guy,' Vrabel quipped to one player. To another, he said, 'Don't worry, we'll see it on film.' He calmly grabbed a towel and wiped off the blood. Drake Maye said he almost got involved in the scrum when Vrabel was in the pile — Mark Daniels (@ByMarkDaniels) August 6, 2025 If nothing else, Wednesday's joint practice, the first of camp, served as the strongest indicator yet of how much has changed with the Patriots. It offered the best example of how things are improving under Vrabel. Their head coach was diving into a dogpile to break up a fight. Their quarterbacks were making plays. Their defense was holding its own against a talented offense. Most importantly, they didn't get pushed around and had a slight leg up on both sides of the ball against a Washington Commanders team that went to the NFC Championship Game last season. Advertisement A year ago, a dreadful practice against the Philadelphia Eagles was so one-sided that it was hard to watch and foreshadowed the struggles that would come in a second straight 4-13 season. This time, the Patriots put together one of their best practices of the last two years (which, to be fair, isn't saying much). It would be unwise to put too much stock into a single practice when the starters got maybe 30 snaps, which is around half of a game. That's especially fair to note considering this roster is probably still below average, even after Vrabel's free-agent spending spree and general overhaul this offseason. And the Pats could still go to Minnesota next week, where they have a pair of practices scheduled, and get smoked by the Vikings. In all likelihood, the Commanders will still end up the better team this season. But it's also fair to say this Patriots team finally looks competent and well-run for the first time in a couple of years. 'I love what we did today,' receiver Demario Douglas said. 'Everything is not as good as it looks or as bad as it looks — but it's a good feeling that it looked good,' running back Antonio Gibson said. Josh McDaniels' offense took what the Commanders defense gave it. The unit still cannot make the big plays that are required from a top offense, and there are still talent concerns (there were way too many dropped passes Wednesday). But the goal is incremental improvement, and this offense looks noticeably better than last year's, even if it's still not one of the 15 best units in the league. It finally has some semblance of explosiveness with rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson, who continues to cut into Rhamondre Stevenson's first-team reps. And it has cut back on interceptions from Drake Maye while encouraging easy passes in the short and intermediate game to stay on schedule. Advertisement Receiver Kayshon Boutte has been a big part of that. He had the catch of the day for the Patriots and continues to stand out. Mack Hollins made a few impressive grabs himself, but he also had a couple of drops. And Douglas continues to look like the perfect fit to rack up catches over the middle. 'I don't want to give any predictions, but I pray that's how it goes,' Douglas said. Meanwhile, a Patriots defense without its best player (Christian Gonzalez) held up OK against the Commanders, who were without their top receiver, Terry McLaurin. Washington ran the ball well (especially to the outside, a potential source of concern for the Pats) and Jayden Daniels still made some incredible plays, showing why he was the league's top rookie quarterback last year. Maye admitted Wednesday that it's 'always in the back of your mind, the draft class you came in with,' and that he's trying to keep pace. But at the same time, the Patriots got a decent pass rush from Christian Barmore and Milton Williams, and the secondary performed well, too. All of it added to an impressive practice and a feeling that Foxboro was rejuvenated after several years of being in the wilderness. Wow. — Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 6, 2025 Fans lined up, several deep, across the railings of the stadium for a peek at their team. The star power was back, too. Jayson Tatum of the Celtics stopped by. Jon Bon Jovi walked the sideline. Finally, there was a buzz of excitement surrounding this team. A year ago, there was tepid optimism, too, before the Eagles rolled into town for joint practices. They were still a few months from lifting the Lombardi Trophy and blew the doors off Jerod Mayo's Patriots. There was every chance that could've happened to Vrabel's team on Wednesday. Advertisement Instead, the coach was left bleeding while trying to protect his players, and the Patriots looked like they were finally trending in the right direction. It was just one impressive practice, but at their most important get-together of the summer so far, the Patriots looked like a competent, well-run team. And in a season where progress is the main goal — avoiding the stuff that will get you beat, as Vrabel might put it — they looked to be on their way to achieving that.
