49ers Eye Stanford’s Prongos for Williams’ Future | San Francisco 49ers News

ESPN’s Jordan Reid projects Prongos at No. 28 overall in his 2027 mock, praising his potential, local roots, and foundational skills—even if he needs work in pass blocking. With Williams still dominating, the 49ers are balancing present success with future-proofing, and Prongos could be the perfect pupil to learn from the best before stepping into the spotlight.
