The San Francisco 49ers may need rookie safety Marques Sigle to take a significant role in his first season.
The San Francisco 49ers may need rookie safety Marques Sigle to take a significant role in his first season. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Francisco 49ers made a whopping 11 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, and six of them were on defense. With that being said, the team still has a hole on that side of the ball. Advertisement The Niners lost standout safety Talanoa Hufanga to the Denver Broncos in free agency earlier this offseason, so the team's depth at the position does not inspire a lot of confidence. It also does not help that sophomore defensive back Malik Mustapaha will be out with an ACL tear until at least the middle of the season. As a result, the team will need someone to step up and be a guy they can count on to help them over the top. And they might have selected that guy with the 160th overall pick in the fifth round of this year's draft. Kansas State's Marques Sigle will likely be out with an injury until the 49ers' training camp, he could be just the player that the team needs to help them in this time of need at the safety position. He finished his final season with the Wildcats with 60 total tackles, seven of them being for a loss. He was also able to show his ball-hawk skills with a few defended passes and three interceptions. Advertisement It does not sound like the 2025 fifth-round draft pick will be ready quite yet … but when he is, the team may need to call on him to provide some depth in their secondary - or maybe more than just depth.

Quarterback Jake Retzlaff was sacked on the play, but it was negated due to a holding penalty with receiver JoJo Phillips on the ground.
