Despite Seattle’s impressive draft, K.J. Wright says Niners are still the best team in NFC West
Although K.J. Wright spent the majority of his standout career with the Seahawks, he’s not taking them over the Niners this upcoming season.
Wright recently joined USA Today Sports’ Mackenzie Salmon to talk about the NFC West and said supremacy there belongs to San Francisco.
“The 49ers are phenomenal,” said Wright. “These guys play fast, they play physical, they hit you, get the ball. This defense looks phenomenal.”
Still, he thinks his old club, which surprisingly posted a 9-8 record in 2022, is “making strides.”
When asked about the team’s 71-year-old head coach Pete Carroll, Wright smiled and announced that his former coach is “getting up there (in age)” and “his window is closing.”
Still, Wright sees a strong desire in Carroll, but also reiterated that “the clock is ticking.”
