How 49ers rookie Martin already has impressed his idol Warner originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
San Francisco 49ers rookie Nick Martin, the No. 75 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has impressed All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner, whom he idolizes. Martin, who has only bought Warner’s jersey, actively seeks advice from him and has demonstrated strong athletic ability during the offseason program. After the team lost Dre Greenlaw, they hope Martin can fill the void, building on his notable college performance, despite a knee injury limiting his senior season.
