What happened: On NFL Network's Good Morning Football, former NFL offensive lineman Will Colon endorsed the San Francisco 49ers heading into the 2026 season, saying the team finds a way to win. The segment framed Colon as "riding with the Bang Bang Niner Gang" for the year ahead.

Why it matters: Analyst confidence this early in the offseason reflects the expectations that continue to follow the 49ers, who have remained a perennial NFC contender. With the 2026 season still months away, on-air endorsements like this set the narrative for how a roster is viewed before camp opens.

What to watch: Watch how San Francisco's roster takes shape through the rest of the 2026 offseason, and whether the early optimism holds once training camp and the regular season begin.
