The 49ers’ roster has undergone a significant makeover since the 49ers’ last Super Bowl appearance.
Forty-three players on the 49ers’ current 53-man roster have been added since the club lined up against the Kansas City Chiefs four years ago in Super Bowl LIV.
The 49ers’ roster includes 20 players who have been with the organization for less than a year.

General manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan are responsible -- through drafts, free agency and trades -- for bringing in all but one player on the team that will take the field Sunday in Super Bowl LVIII against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Defensive lineman Arik Armstead is the only holdover from a previous regime. He was a first-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft under then-GM Trent Baalke and then-coach Jim Tomsula.
